lines and involving all the characters . in kendasampige , dcp suryakanth ' s story is unfinished . we are left with the question with the rajesh nataranga ' s character ( forgot the name ) answering the audit committee , will he reveal suryakanth ' s identities . since suryakanth is also indirectly involved with kb ' s storyline ( initially kb ' s protagonist is protecting the money illegally possessed by suryakanth and team , which he eventually steals , as shown in the ending of kendasampige ) , the next set of events might lead to his downfall . i am eagerly waiting for kaage bangaara . it is enthralling to see story lines of two movies merged beautifully such that each story is independent on it ' s own with small connections to other .\ni went to the theater b ' cause i loved suri ' s kaddipudi , kendasampige is an romantic , road movie and crime thriller all packed together the movie kicks off right from the beginning and does not stop till the end but the movie does not have any panache there are no memorable scene in this movie like kaddipudi , except the lead all others acting is good , it has some beautiful drone shots but the one thing annoyed me was the use of too many hand held ' shaky cam ' effect . but the movie will keep you in your seat edge of your seat till the end it has its movements and mentioned earlier by others the script is the hero of this film . this movie is diffidently worth a watch its sets itself apart from other kannada movie it has a unique tone , but kaddipudi is still suri ' s best film yet . i will diffidently be catching\nkage bangara\nin theaters ! ! !\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\nthe tagline of director suri ' s new film kendasampige ; ginimari case part ii , did confuse many people . no one had ever heard of the first part of the film and here was the second part in theatres ! but the film had justification for the title as there were glimpses of the ` part i ' which was integral to the film released last week . in the end credits of ` part 2 ' , the first part was promised in 2016 . the first part is called\nsays part 1 will be released in early 2016 itself as the massive positive response to the film has given him immense confidence .\n\u201cthe response to this film has floored me . some portions of part 1 has already been shot . in fact , it is a three -

starrer kgf and will embark work on the ugramm sequel sometime next year , say sources close to the project .\npart 1 : released in 2012 this was a horror comedy , which was a remake the tamil film kanchana . the film had upendra , saikumar and raai laxmi in the lead roles . the film was directed by horror specialist filmmaker ramanarayanan .\npart 2 : to be released in 2016 the project is under production and is again the remake of the horror comedy tamil film kanchana 2 , which released last year and was a big success . the film is being shot in bengaluru and mangaluru and sees priya mani and avantika shetty alongside upendra .\npart 1 : released in 2015 the story revolves around a couple framed for a crime and on a run from police , and exposes the nexus between the latter and the influential . it was touted to be suri ' s quentin tarantino - meets - guy ritchie - meets - ram gopal varma kind of tale . the film ' s tagline ' part 2 * ginimari case ' suggests that the first part was actually the sequel to what will be released as the kendasampige part 2 .\npart 1 released in 2012 a crime thriller , the film is based on and captures the exploits of a real - life notorious gang of thieves and murderers called dandupalya . the film catapulted the career of its lead actress pooja , who played a member of this gang in the film .\npart 2 expected to release in 2016 to be directed by srinivasa raju , the film stars pooja gandhi and her gang , including makarand deshpande . however , rather than calling it a sequel , the director calls it a parallel story that dates back to 1995 , wherein he plans to capture the horrific psyche of the dreaded gang .\npart 1 released in 2016 shivalinga revolves around a murder , which is declared a suicide in the court because of the evidence provided . but when a cid officer investigates the case , they discover that it was not a suicide .\npart 2 expected to release in 2017 the story is expected to begin where the first part ended . while shivarajkumar will reprise his role , there will be changes in the rest of the cast . the character shivarajkumar plays is seen wanting to lead a normal life with his wife , but the case at hand pulls him right back into action mode .\nif you have to make a good film you need to shed your ego , says director duniya suri . with three films lined up , he tells archana nathan that he needs to empty himself before he gets on board\nhowever , amidst the back - to - back projects , suri reveals that all he actually wants to do is hit the brakes , sit down and take stock of things before making any films .\ni need to do a complete system erase and begin again . i need to empty myself ,\nhe explains .\nfilms like u turn , thithi and godhi banna sadharana mykattu gave rise to a lot of speculation about a possible a \u2018new wave\u2019 in kannada cinema . even kendasampige was discussed as part of this wave .\namong all the films that released , i loved thithi which i think was the best . the beauty of the film was in its ability to recognise the cinematic potential in commonplace situations . even with u turn , that the consequences of moving a single stone on a road can become fodder for cinema is just wonderful . there are a number of things that happen around us everyday . what is important is to learn how to adapt those things for the screen . both pawan kumar and raam reddy know how to do that .\nif i have to analyse and situate kendasampige within this context , i would say that there was nothing spectacular about the film . perhaps , the editing and narrative style fascinated people .\nnot at all . i wouldn\u2019t say the same about duniya , for instance . duniya is a film you will remember even after you go home from the theatre . i wouldn\u2019t put kendasampige in that category .\ni would actually liken it to the course of a river . it is only natural that there are these ups and downs every once in a while . once in five years , new experiments are conducted , some succeed and others don\u2019t . while social media has popularised these films in particular , it must also be remembered that if one were to glance at kannada cinema\u2019s history , one is bound to recognise similar attempts in the past as well . phani ramachandra , for instance , with his ganeshana maduve , started a trend . upendra began another trend . a film like mungaru maley set the template for the love story for a while , a simplagondu love story generated interest in the dialogue - heavy film and so on . so , this was inevitable .\nyou have been associated with the rajkumar family since the beginning of your career . . .\ni have always been fond of working with puneeth and shivanna . they are committed artists whose style of working matches mine - whether it is their behaviour on sets , the attention they pay during the narration of the script etc . that said , it is not like we are an exclusive group . i actually have plans of working with darshan , yash and a whole range of actors in the industry .\nwe ' ve just had a week where there were close to eight kannada films that released . on an average , there are at least 4 - 5 films releasing each week . what do you make of this ?\nthe volume of films can be explained by the fact that everyone wants to somehow be associated with the film industry . this is understandable . everyone wants to make a film , be successful or become a hero . it is good that the industry is this busy . at the same time , what is a matter of concern is this opinion that filmmaking is effortless . there are people who come to my office and try to show a film they ' ve made on their phone .\nsome of them have a 30 - second promo to show or a poster . they may not even have a story . i sit them down and tell them that just like there is no easy route to learning music or any of the arts , filmmaking too is not easy . i ask them to work on a set to learn what happens there up until pack up . while technology has made the process of filmmaking more convenient , there is this widespread opinion that films can be easily made . this is evident in some of the films that have released too . . .\nif you were to look back at your journey so far . . . is this where you wanted to be ?\nthe journey , starting from duniya has been great . but i do feel the need for me to sit down and go through a process of metamorphosis . i ' m right now in a mental space where i feel i have become egoistic .\ni have a four - year - old son who reminds me everyday that i need to shed my ego . i see him draw on pieces of paper and his art alone teaches me a lot . my son does not care if his drawings will win a prize or be kept on some pedestal . uninhibited and with a fascinating boldness , he draws . similarly , i have to forget all that i\u2019ve heard and internalised about my work - the praise , the analysis etc . only then , will i be able to make a good film in the real sense .\ni strongly believe that when you make a film , you cannot also simultaneously apologise or give excuses for the faults in it . a film is made and that is that .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\n' kendasampige ' was an experimental film , which released last year to extraordinary response . the film was a commercial success as well . however , suri says that he is not able to find a producer for the prequel , which was supposed to have gone on floors by this time .\nthe budget of the film is expected to be around rs 2 crores . suri is a top director in sandalwood , who has great success rate . he is one of the few directors who has worked thrice with one of the top actors like puneeth rajkumar . so it ' s really surprising that he is not finding a producer .\nhowever , a source close to the film team says that this is a publicity stunt by the team . suri currently has two big projects in form of ' dodmane huduga ' and ' tagaru ' . if he wishes he can ask any of the producers to produce the film . however , he is not doing so , as to get publicity for his experimental film .\nsome characters from ginimari case will continue . some characters that were minor in the second installment will play major roles in part 1 . the trilogy is unique because part 2 was released first . this is also the first time that a trilogy or series is announced even before the first of them was released .\nshah rukh khan and anubhav sinha keen to make ' ra . one ' sequel ?\nhit the gym four months ago , there was much speculation that he was priming up to get into acting . now that director has developed a six -

ii has few more parts left to spread the aroma .\na careful writing has led to a griping experience , which is evident from the scene one evoking suspense and then the twists and turns without a slightest disturbance to the joyful ride . it is again special for the introduction of two new faces \u2013 vikky and manvitha harish , who are not just refreshing on screen but very much suit the innocent characters webbed around the thrilling plot .\nthe music here is the perfect desert after a tasty meal , soothing and adds onto the running script . harikrishna has truly earned it this time . on par with the best of hollywood film making \u2013 it is perfectly a synchronized domino effect right till the end . a poor and honest boy saves a rich girl from drowning . later they fall in love , but opposed by the girl\u2019s mother who is rich and influential with good contacts in the police department .\n. the movie is originally a three part series and the title of the third part is undecided as of yet .\nthis movie is director ' s delight , suri has delivered a very good movie . the movie lasts 100 minutes , & a fast moving story . as the name depicts kendasampige has a fragrance of love , crime & destiny . it ' s a master piece . story telling at it ' s best . there are no big names in the casting , narration of the story is amazing . hey this movie is few notches well above the recent releases . a quality film , descent & neat story with a very good background score . what stole my attention & made me very glad was\ncinematography\n. amazing camera work . the film is shot within karnataka & you will fall in love with the places & aerial shots by drones are awesome . now i am sure there would be more tourists flocking\nchitradurgada kallina kote\n. full paisa vasool for watching it on a big screen with 7 . 1 dolby theater & i am ready to watch part - 2 of this movie . i loved the villain of the movie , the depth in his voice is amazing . suri & team , very well done .\nwhat amazed me is how the script writer and director have packed a perfect story in just 98 minutes of screen time . you rarely get this in indian cinema . the performances by the newbies does full justice to the story , cinematography is excellent with aerial shots of many places in karnataka . picturization inside chitradurga fort is noteworthy . musics blends well with the subject of the movie . the movie is narrated so well that i could not notice the climax , it is as if you are living one of the character in the movie . good to see movies like rangitaranga , kendasampige being tried in kannada cinema . waiting to see more such flicks .\nthis movie has everything , love , suspense ! and the freshness of the story , cinematography . they have shown almost 4 - 5 districts of karnataka ( main areas of the cities ) , shot from the top ( probably using drones , that ' s what i guessed ) . the newbies have acted so well . no useless fight scenes . and a nice creative idea of keeping the audience curious about the first part . hope part1 will be more exciting than this . love the song : nenape nithya mallige . lovely lyrics and soothing music . i don ' t see why people will ever miss kannada movies if they are this good . please do watch ! time to be proud kannadigas ! kriti\nwell well , how intense can a movie get , to know this , you got to watch this brilliant movie called # kendasampige . looks like nowadays kannada movies are telling the world that , to make good movies , there is something important than glamor , budget and stardom and that ' s called art of story telling . i mean anybody can make a movie with big budget , big stars and make it a super hit . to make a movie like this with minimum budget and all newbie actors , you need a genius like soori . if you talk about the actors , what a start these newbies got to their career . they have done a neat job for these demanding roles in the movie . what is surprising is when rangitaranga and uppi2 can get 4k votes and this movie has got only 328 votes ? what happened to those audience ? really surprising . i don ' t want to reveal anything about the storyline as such . it can be never be said in only words anyway : ) in summary , its a brilliant movie and great acting . if you are fan intense , brilliant movies , you will love this movie for sure .\nexcellent movie . don ' t want to reveal the plot but it sticks true to definition of thriller packed within 100 minutes . appreciate the acting of lead pair of manvita and vicky . excellent performances from prakash and rajesh . cinematography by satya hegde is excellent ( sure should be nominated for major awards ) . bgm by harikrishna keeps the mood of the movie . screenplay by surendranath , suri and rajesh are outstanding . finally suri , you are an ace director man . it takes conviction to invest and direct these kind of movies . there is no formula or heroism in the film but it is excellent . have been watching the combination of you and satya hegde , you people rock . excellent in all aspects .\nthis is one of the good movies that stand out in the crowd of usual commercial\nmasala\nmovies in recent times in kannada film industry . good mix of love , crime and corruption . the story looks like has been tried out before in some other similar movies . but this one is enjoyable with very good direction and camera work . starts with drug peddlers with a hot - pants wearing sultry women leading the gang ( short - pants is just to distract audience ) . and then it continues with share of extortion from drug - peddlers encounter killing and raiding within police force . later the story moves to a love story at different city . then its roller - coaster ride by couples in love who are trying to save themselves from the hot pursuits by the police forces . but only problem is that two different set of officials within police force trying to track them - one with good intention and bad intention by other set . the end is done on good note and don ' t want give more details on it . almost three climax to the end though . this kannada movie deserves a good rating .\ni loved watching this movie . . many thrillers there will be too may scenes which are too much of a coincidence . but here it was not like that , it was very natural . well the actors did a great job . i love the fact that the simple lead actor ( male ) has shown his simplicity throughout in action , expression everything . also the usage of language ( kannada ) is very natural , many movies there will be too many artificial ( bookish ) words used for strong dialog . but here local slang is used very aptly . also there is not too much drama involved . my most favorite part is there are no dreamy songs . the songs give a good meaning and are apt for the scenes . many indian films are full of dreams romantic songs which personally i do not like ."]}

room kitchen unit and share it with amit\u2019s brother ( tawde ) and his parents ( gupte , joshi ) .\nshe likes mumbai and soon gets absorbed in the city . like everyone else , she worships the terrible melodramas on the telly , dreams of learning to ride a two - wheeler , eventually learns to take the famous mumbai local and finds redemption in watching the palatial bungalows of film stars . still , the problems remain and one day amit think its time to move to a new house \u2014 easier said than done in mumbai .\nthus begin the complexities in the life of the naik family . their problems are not unlike our own and we can identify solidly with the characters , and yet\ndoes not take the familiar path . keeping firmly within the logic established on the outset , it manages to open new avenues , address new issues , keeps us guessing about the next turn of events and ends on a positive note that leaves us with a warm feeling inside .\ninitially however , the film seems predictable , a little simplistic even , although it\u2019s none of that .\n, where instead of the typical emotional melodrama , the audience saw their own lives unfold on screen . the treatment here is sympathetic , drama is derived from real life situations in a sort of tweaked realism , characters are likable , and there are no villains . the script is a piece of fine writing ( screenplay by kshitij patwardhan and sameer vidwans ) , where the craft is noticeable , but only in hindsight . every track and situation is carefully handled , leading to its logical conclusion . at intermission , i held my breath as the film could go in any direction at that point . luckily , it soared .\nthe best part of the film , especially in the second half , is that it moves quickly and unpredictably . the characters grow and the film with it . from\n, we have seen many films set in the chawls of mumbai , but it seems strangely relevant today as we stand on the last outpost of urbanisation and the chawl culture being on the verge of extinction . the film does not condemn communal living but advocates the need for an upgrade .\nalong with script and direction , a credit for the actors is due . ankush chaudhari and mukta barve have toned down their usual onscreen personas and have become the characters . the entire naik family does a great job , but vidyadhar joshi stands out in the role of amit\u2019s father . asavari joshi is a surprise package in her role as a glamorous tv mother - in - law .\nis a perfect film for a family audience \u2014 for those who want entertainment as well as something to think about .\n\u25a0 you can write to ganesh matkari at punemirror . feedback @ urltoken or tweet @ thepunemirror\nfor here or to go ? movie review : ali fazal and omi vaidya ' s film has potential to touch a nerve but . . .\nlive updates : bigg boss 11 , episode 59 , day 59 , 29th november 2017 : pay back time for hina khan , ar . . .\nlive updates : bigg boss 11 , episode 59 , day 59 , 29th november 2017 : pay back time for hina khan , arshi khan , luv tyagi and akash dadlani in the luxury budget task .\npink actress kirti kulhari gets call from bjp leader lk advani and daughter for indu sarkar perform . . .\nhere ' s how designers amit ray and subrata chakraborthy created pakistan in punjab for meghna gulzar . . .\nbhoomi movie review : sanjay dutt in top form in this omung kumar directorial also starring aditi ra . . .\ncopyright \u00a9 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\ni have seen the scenario with my own eyes as i grew up in the mill areas of lalbaug which was the stronghold of gawli and i have seen the turf wars , the murders and the violent attacks on each other by gang memners closely and i knew instantly how to portray my character .\nit was great and we all put in our best especially the director chandrakant kanse who has assisted many big directors and knows his craft well and has done a good job on the film . also makarand deshpande who plays daddy has also done an excellent job .\nyes . our dop especially has done a great job and the rest of the technical team also has done a technically superb job .\nthis is just the first event and we will be holding many more events to publicize the film . our producers are really good and they have provided a good support in the making and promotions of the film\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

length psa against gallic shrinks .\nthe story opens with chloe ( marine vacth of ozon ' s young & beautiful ) , a quintessential parisian beauty of 25 , whom we see glowering into the camera as she gets her hair cut ; the resulting pixie ' do recalls mia farrow ' s rosemary , just the first in ozon ' s giddy parade of cinephilic winks and nods . we then find chloe in a gynecologist ' s examining room , where the doctor tells her that the abdominal pains she ' s been suffering from are surely anxiety - or depression - related . chloe asks for a psych referral :\ni think i ' m ready ,\nshe says rather gravely .\ncue her first appointment with dr . paul meyer ( dardenne brothers regular jeremie renier ) , a blond , boyishly handsome therapist whose sweater - and - spectacles look is as reassuring as his professional manner . chloe immediately takes to their sessions , certain moments of which ozon presents via split - screen placing the two characters in an intimate face - to - face formation .\nwhen i see you , i feel like i exist ,\nchloe confides at one appointment , noting that her melancholy and ennui \u2014 as well as her stomach symptoms \u2014 have lifted .\nand not a moment too soon , as paul explains , for he has fallen in love with her and is ethically obligated to discontinue their therapy . luckily ( or dysfunctionally , depending on how you look at it ) , the feelings are mutual . doctor and patient kiss , and before long chloe and her beloved feline companion milo are moving into paul ' s apartment .\nwhile unpacking , chloe opens a box of paul ' s personal belongings , picks up his passport and notices there ' s a different last name on it : delord . perturbed , she gently pleads with him ,\npromise to tell me everything and hide nothing .\ngood luck with that , girlfriend .\nchloe makes an appointment , and quickly learns that louis is quite the opposite of paul \u2014 as foreshadowed by the fake plant in his waiting room ( unlike paul ' s real one ) and the chilly modern d\u00e9cor of his office , all sharp edges and sleek surfaces . with his slicked - up hair , smart suits and superior semi - sneer , louis is a lacanian nutjob whose methods include insulting chloe , abruptly ending their sessions after a few minutes and , most unconventionally ,\napplied techniques ,\nwhich amount to seducing his new patient into sexual submission .\nchloe keeps her affair with louis \u2014 and her knowledge of his very existence \u2014 a secret from paul , though she tries to provoke the latter into coming clean with such leading questions as :\nhave you ever wished you had a twin brother ?\nto reveal more about how the relationships between chloe , paul and louis unfold would be to spoil the funhouse of motifs ( mirrors , duh ! ) , references and thriller tropes that ozon has assembled with great flair and an infectious sense of mischief .\nmeanwhile , the director ' s supreme control is fully evident in the cool elegance of his compositions ( dp manu dacosse does terrific work ) and the tonal confidence that ' s sustained from start to finish . he also gets the most out of his cast : often shot in lush close - up , vacth conveys a captivating fragility spiked with a dash of deviousness , and she ' s nicely matched by renier , who , as louis , plays enjoyably against good - boy type . the ever - regal bisset has fun as two different mothers , and myriam boyer almost walks off with the whole movie , going full camp as a kooky neighbor vying for the title of worst catsitter ever .\nby turns gently emotional and aggressively nerve -

mts has collapsed like a house of cards at the box office . however i am going to dispel a common miss - conception among people , that the film has mainly failed due to the deception staged by tinu verma , using sunny ' s name to boaster the chances of a movie that stars a flop arbaaz khan as the hero and has a first time action director as the director . this may indeed be one of the reasons of its failure , but watch this torture and perhaps the other reasons will speak volumes to you !\noverall ; technically the film is only good in parts , while other sequences have been shot and executed with outdated methods ; the explosions shots in particular are very well executed ; the opening indian movies and mts logo looks very slick . however the movie is completely hampered by bad sound and dubbing , jerky cinematography and dull action and editing .\nhere are a few other implausible gems i noticed : for director tinnu verma , a brilliant scheme to nab terrorists would be to have intelligence officer tabu shake her butt , belly and all , and burst into song . also , indians are shown freely ridiculing pakistanis . the pakistanis of this film pride themselves on being two - faced traitors .\nmaa tujhe salaam is sunny deol ' s 3rd movie of the patriotic trilogy of 2001 . after the major successes of gadar and indian , sunny is at it again , this time in kashmir as a commando , protecting the villagers against terrorists . sunny deol is the real macho - man ( muscleman ) among the other tough stars , and he is just brilliant in the action scenes , which are awesome . i just love it when he roars , as that just boils your blood so hard that you will do anything for the honor of your country . tabu does well as a supporting commando , but the movie belongs to sunny deol . he is just the best action hero in bollywood . the climax was just amazing and mind - blowing , as sunny blows out baddies with big machine guns . later , he is hit by bullets while going uphill with the indian flag , but sunny is just unstoppable , and he vanquishes the baddies and then is hospitalized and survives ( ending like imtihaan ) . sunny wins the day , yet again . jai hind ! sunny deol zindabad !\nstarcast : sunny deol , arbaaz khan , tabudirector : tinu vermaproducer : mahinder dhariwalmusic director : sajid - wajidsynopsis : ' mts ' tells the story of a brave indian army officer major pratap singh ( sunny deol ) , who foils a pakistani infiltration attempt . the action takes place somewhere in the border town of zhonabad , which is a high mountain ravine near the international border of kashmir . the villain , lala ( tinu verma ) lives with his henchmen in zhonabad . lala ' s ancestors were landlords and that ' s why he is a respected and powerful man in his hometown . he ' s also an enemy agent . he and his men are responsible for the infiltration of terrorists and ammunition through mountainous passes . lala takes into confidence a young illiterate village local albaksh ( arbaaz khan ) . albaksh works like a slave for lala without knowing that lala is anti - national . captain sonia ( tabu ) gets information about the activities of lala and albaksh . she passes it on to the military headquarters . major pratap is ordered to proceed immediately to zhonabad . in the meantime albaksh comes to know about lala ' s real activities . he opposes him and lala becomes his enemy . lala cooks up stories and falsely implicates albaksh , who becomes a traitor in the eyes of the law . he is arrested and thrown into jail . when major pratap interrogates him , albaksh relates the real story , and tells him about the planning of a vast terrorist infiltration into the country through zhonabad . as time is running out fast major pratap decides to fight the terrorists with the help of albaksh . rest , as they say , is history . good triumphs over evil in the end . analysis : ' mtj ' is an out and out arbaaz khan film . he is the hero of the film and sunny deol just makes a special appearance in the film ( for his friend tinu verma , who makes his debut as director ) . arbaaz emerges as the dark horse of the film . he comes across as someone who can fight as well as act . however , the story and plot of the film does not live up to one ' s expectations . sold as a sunny starrer ( though he is not the hero of the film ) this ' commercial patriotism ' flick is strictly for the masses . dialogues like ' doodh maango kheer denge , kashmir maango cheer denge ' play to the gallery . to sum up even if you miss it , you have nothing to lose .\ntoday , the plots , lifted as they are from newspapers , are just this side of fiction . but hindi movies being what they are , fantasy is hardly spared . song and dance routines still break out on the snow - capped mountains of kashmir , though these days , the films are more likely to be shot in a hill station far removed from kashmir , which is considered too dangerous for film sets .\nthe story for ' ' yeh dil aashiqanaa ' ' ( ' ' this heart in love ' ' ) has been lifted from the 1999 hijacking of an indian airlines plane by pakistan - based terrorists . the hijacking supplies what the film ' s director , kuku kohli , describes as the spicy stuff that every romantic plot demands .

but tinu has even gone further than that .\nhow would you feel if someone took the life story of one of your loves ones and turned into complete nonsense ? similarly , tinu verma has taken an important part of india ' s history and presented in a distorted and ridiculous way ; that was the conflict of kargil . mts is a slap on the face of the relatives and loved ones of all those that died in this conflict , a slap on the face of our armed forces . how mts has dealt with kargil ( was it dealing with it at all ) makes the whole kargil episode seem insignificant . one simply cannot realise the scope of that episode from this film . its sad mts was even made , its even sadder that the indian government let it pass , that too with glowing reviews . j . p dutta ' s loc will be a true account of the kargil conflict and i cam say without even seeing loc , that it will be a million times better than this mts garbage .\nawesome acting by ranbir and soonam as well . no doubt paresh rawal did his excellent role . . worth\u2026\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 hungama digital media entertainment pvt . ltd . all rights reserved .\ncountry afghanistan albania algeria american samoa andorra angola anguilla antarctica antigua and barbuda argentina armenia aruba australia austria azerbaijan bahamas bahrain bangladesh barbados belarus belgium belize benin bermuda bhutan bolivia bosnia and herzegovina botswana bouvet island brazil british antarctic territory british indian ocean territory british virgin islands brunei bulgaria burkina faso burundi cambodia cameroon canada canton and enderbury islands cape verde cayman islands central african republic chad chile china christmas island cocos [ keeling ] islands colombia comoros congo -

gadar in snow coverd mountains anyone ? nope ! what was it then ? simple ! it ' s a complete and utter mess that deserves nothing less , but the trash can .\nwhere should i begin with the story ? hmm , im not sure where to start ? ok wait , i remember ( i saw it 2 hours ago , but i ' ve already forgotten it ) well there is the indian army , barely made up of 20 people , there is mr pradeep , nevermind forgot the name . lets just saw there is sunny deol - oh and he has a love interest , miss captain sonia ( tabu ) ( no i never can forget someone with the name sonia ) they occasionally go sing and dance underneath trees , except in this case snow covered trees . . . oh and there is an army commander who cares more about hearing his name and song be announced on radio , than the country . another army commander , cares more about his hair ( or rather lack of ) rather than his country . oh and there is mr arbaaz khan , who is a patriotric kashmiri muslim , that finds out his god father ( lalla ) is a big player in terrorism . . oh and arbaaz khan has a cute girlfriend , that he occasionally goes to , but don ' t worry most of the songs are given to the sunny deol and tabu duo . hmm is there anything else , oh yeah the terrorists are planning a major invasion of kashmir , which obviously is thwarted by our superstar sunny deol and they all lived happily ever after .\nwhat screenplay ? take out the screen all together . it was all play , perhaps tinu verma was treating movie making as some sort of game or trivial task - you know a bit of shoot em ups here and there , then a song or two , some skin , some exchanges of love , some religion and nationalist crap and then a totally unbelievable climax ! there you have it , mts complete ; now just send it off to the editing table and post production , publicise it and release it during war time - now just wait for the sound of the cash registers ! ( grin )\nthe indian army ; where is the discipline ? the seniors are taking to their peers as if it ' s a tea party ? one soldiers cares more about being announced on the radio and his jokes , another cares more about being bald ? the others just stand there as scenery . there is absolutely no discipline whatsoever , this is suppose to be an army , not a circus !\na dozen indian armed soldiers - incoming are hundreds of terrorist forces , armed with machine guns ( now comes the realistic bit ) - they completely slaughter the 5 measly armed indian soldiers ( but after all tinu verma strikes again ) on comes arbaaz khan armed with two machine guns , ummm hes running directly in their direction and firing at them ( ironically he does not even get hit once ) and all of a sudden the enemy forces feel the heavy fire and cannot proceed , so they run away (\nits arbaazzz , runnnn\n) that is pretty ironic considering the indian soldiers were a dozen and posed no threat to the enemy forces , but one arbaaz totally changed the equation . i see another sunny deol in the making\nin a similar sequence , where sunny deol is running directly in the direction of enemy fire , the enemy manages to hit everywhere else , everywhere around him , except him and one sunny deol manages to overcome the entire army .\noverall the story , script direction all got left behind in pre production , the final product only has one story , one direction - and that is it will become history ' s rubbish and head in the direction of total oblivion .\nno reviews needed ; - i mean how can you expect someone with the name ,\nsajid wajid\nto give a normal score ? songs just pop up out of nowhere , have no meaning , are extremely outdated and have dull picturizations .\njerky cinematography only alleviated by the beautiful location of kashmir , but no credit to the director of photography , however to his credit , he has executed a horse race sequence beautifully . bad sound ; sound seems to alternate between high and low whilst in the same scene , can be somewhat excruciating ! dubbing is extremely bad . special effects are poor , while some are ok - the explosions are very good however . background scores range from bad to good . tinu verma ' s action is dulll ; did somebody really call this\nakin to hollywood\n- which hollywood films are they watching ? 40 ' s stuff ? hmm watch hollywood action movies from as earliest as 80 ' s , and you ' ll see how\nakin\nmts ' s action is . the only aspects i liked about the action , was the gun shots and their impact , otherwise the rest is a dull show .\ntabu ; as captain sonia is wasted , the critically acclaimed actress that has won for performances in chandini bar and astitiva , has actually done this role . was that even tabu , maybe they cloned her or something ? she is reduced to merely an excuse for a song and dance and for some exchanges of love . ( i actually ended up forwarding all these scenes )\narbaaz khan : he flopped for a reason - and that is that he simply cannot act . his dialogue delivery is poor and i find his voice rather annoying . he seems to have the same expression in every scene . his career should be considered finished !\nbrhadharanyaka upanishad - sloka 1 . 4 . 2 and 1 . 4 . 3\npotboiler , a revenge drama , a love story . contrary to its title ,\nmajor pratap singh ( sunny deol ) is a valiant army officer , leading his battalion into the snow - clad mountains of kargil . when not swapping manly stories about his escapades with terrorists , pratap serenades dream girl sonia ( tabu ) at exotic locations . sonia is a military intelligence officer herself . though there is not much of that to go by - - her intelligence is limited to romancing her beau .\ncut to jhonabad ( a small town at the foothills of kashmir ) , which functions on the whims and fancies of lala sultan ( tinnu verma ) . lala , along with his tyrant brothers , secretly nurses the dream of turning kashmir into an independent nation . he therefore collaborates with pakistani terrorist gulbaksh ( sudesh berry ) who actually wants to merge kashmir and pakistan .\nwhat happens next ? good wins over evil , of course . pakistan is asked to take a hike .\non the acting front , arbaaz khan exudes raw intensity and vulnerability . his newly acquired toned and tough physique adds a roughness to his reckless character .\nsunny deol , in a glorified special appearance , is the stuff heroes are made of : he woos the girl , fights the baddies , mouths anti - pakistani lines , wins the battle and survives three bullets after a miraculous operation .\nas for first - timer tinnu verma , his direction and acting skills leave a lot to be desired . action sequences are his forte . he would be better off sticking to them . the music only lenghtens this brainless adventure for 40 extra minutes .\n. you are , truly , better off watching the war of words between prime minister atal bihari vajpayee and president general pervez musharraf on your television .\npost - kargil war in 1999 , bollywood suddenly saw a outburst of patriotic war films .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\n/ / urltoken\nsunny deol is celebrating his birthday today . the action man of bollywood has turned 59 today . the actor , who is famous for his action packed avatar in several of his films , has become synonymous with his names . moreover , the actor has donned the role of a true indian in many of his films . with his strong character and power - packed dialogues , his films are a must watch during national holidays , celebrated in the nation .\non his birthday , let ' s take a look at some of sunny ' s films .\nin this 2001 release , the damini actor played an honest deputy commissioner of police named rajshekhar azad whose only aim was to wipe out corruption in every possible way . he fights with the dreaded terrorist and his toughness and strong character brings about the best in him .\nloosely based on the life and times of shaheed bhagat singh , sunny played chandrashekhar azad , while his younger brother bobby deol played the titular role of bhagat singh . the 59 - year - old actor ' s portrayal of azad was well - received by the audiences and the critics .\ndidn ' t know working in patriotic movies for money makes someone true patriot .\nalia bhatt and janhvi kapoor are obsessing over this rs . 59 , 000 bag . find out !\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nbollywood , that keen observer and welder of the national mood , has tapped into india ' s current high - octane nationalism , with tales of swaggering , self - assured heroes who beat back terrorist ' ' baddies ' ' and their pakistani henchmen .\nthe diplomatic niceties of the past , when pakistan was only alluded to as some unnamed malevolent power , have been scrapped . so too the allegories that were a staple of hindi movies past , when the india - pakistan divide was likely to be cast as a tale of ill - fated sibling rivalry .\n' ' we want to just hype the emotions of indians for the country , ' ' said its director , tinu verma , a rajasthani stuntman turned filmmaker .\nsunny deol , the leading man of the new vogue of pictures , said it was high time for patriotism to return to the screen .

but i had high hopes , especially since i managed to steer her away from something called\nthe wedding pact\n.\nwhat i got to say about this movie\ndirty deeds\nis that\nit ' s not funny and it ' s extremely boring\nfor most of the parts of the movie . the performances in this movie are horrendous . the directing by david kendall is not good at all . the screenplay is pathetic . and the score is okay .\ni ' m raving that\ndirty deeds\nis one movie that you may forgettable after watching it .\nit ' s not a must see !\nthis could have been more of an innocent romp like\ntrojan war\n, but i guess that ' s not the kind of film that this was meant to be . it just feels tired and familiar . the film ' s most disturbing ,\nfunniest\nraunchy moment is a shameless and embarrassing homage to the original\namerican pie\n. it ' s just not something\u2026\nthis coming of age film tells the story of a precocious teen that experiences a sexual awakening and realizes that her parent\u2019s relationship as not as strong , or as stable , as she thought .\ndirty deeds boasts a passably entertaining idea that is butchered in the telling . the underlying premise offers the opportunity for some animal house / american pie / revenge of the nerds - style entertainment , but the unfunny screenplay and inadequate direction turn this into a predictable and depressing experience . one needs look no further than the 40 year old virgin , also currently playing in theaters , to see how to do a raunchy comedy properly . dirty deeds , on the other hand , is a handbook of how to do it wrong .\nlead by milo ventimiglia of ' heroes ' fame , it ' s about a high school student who embarks on a mission to complete the prestigious ' dirty deeds ' . these are ten difficult tasks that range from ridiculous gross out stuff to outright criminal activity .\nan american pie - like teen comedy in which a high school senior tries to become the first student in years to complete the dirty deeds , an outrageous series of challenges that must be completed by the homecoming banquet at 9 a . m . written by mrtreats\nnevertheless , if it ' s any comfort , full frontal nudity by every female participant wouldn ' t have saved dirty deeds . the film is crammed with broad humor that is almost never funny , stock characterizations , plot holes , and bad acting . this is easily the worst high school situated motion picture since a few people decided upon the misguided course of remaking 1987 ' s can ' t buy me love as 2003 ' s love don ' t cost a thing .\nan\namerican pie\n- like teen comedy in which a high school senior tries to become the first student ever to complete the dirty deeds , an outrageous series of challenges that must be completed between dusk and dawn on the friday night of homecoming weekend . . . . full synopsis \u00bb\na guy is forced to do a lot of stupid stuff to protect the girl of his dreams in this teen comedy . zach harper ( milo ventimiglia ) is a senior at a high school with a strange tradition in which upcoming graduates are challenged to perform a series of pranks known as\nthe dirty deeds\nif they want to avoid a humiliating encounter with the football team . in zach ' s case , dan lawton ( matthew carey ) is a jock who has always had it in for him and has made it clear that if zach can ' t complete the\ndirty deeds ,\nhe won ' t be the only one in trouble - - he ' ll also go after meg ( lacey chabert ) , the girl zach ' s sweet on , as well as meg ' s little brother . dirty deeds also stars charles durning , tom amandes , and mark derwin .\nadults are useless : officer dill actually leaves the protection of the entire student body to the jocks , and even refers to them as the leaders of the school . law enforcement . leaves the jocks . who terrorize everyone . to make sure nobody does the dirty deeds . let that sink in .\nthis film has to be one of the most entertaining road trip movies i\u2019ve seen in a while . i love how the story and characters are framed as well as how the resolution of the film is handled . the friendship between danielle and clark is established pretty quickly but this works very well considering their background and how they both have , in one way or another , a wanderlust and yearn for a life outside of their pokey little town in oklahoma . although danielle has more of a goal than clark , their trip really helps them figure out who they are . i enjoyed the hell out of this film and really think it speaks volumes to all types of people .\nrunning gag : officer dill attempted the dirty deeds but only got through one . also , his last name spurs all the kids within earshot to turn it into a sex toy when he introduces himself . also , the high school graduate who likes to make out with his underage girlfriends in the middle of traffic .\nthe basic plot here is that some guy ' s school has a legendary list of pranks / dares called the dirty deeds which must be completed on the night before homecoming ( whatever that is ) . it ' s not really clear what is at stake other than maybe pride and there ' s a real lack of tension or even fun . the deeds come and go while a subplot about a party lumbers on in the background , and that ' s basically it .\nthe film was given a rating of pg - 13 for\ncrude humor , sexual content , language , teen partying / sexual references , and some violence\n. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]\nthe dirty deeds turn out to be not only outrageous but bizarre and perhaps disgusting . they included dangerous tasks like stealing a car costing more than $ 100 , 000 and hitting the toughest kid in town ( who also turned out be a complete psychopath ! ) to something as revolting as making out with a whole wheat bread loaf !\nhigh school senior zach , a young man who lives for challenging authority and being the self proclaimed \u201crebel\u201d , decides to take on the infamous \u201cdirty deeds\u201d list when his crush\u2019s brother is caught up in the dare by a group of bullies . the only thing is , he must complete the entire list of depraved tasks within 24 hours .\nfor some reason both my netflix and amazon prime accounts decided to stop working simultaneously last night , so i was left trawling youtube for movies to watch . dirty deeds was the first one that came up , so i watched it . the fact that i ' ve prefaced this review by providing the rationale for why i chose to watch this film gives you an idea of what i thought of it . not very good indeed . i would have stopped watching but i was curious to see what the rest of the deeds were . milo ventimiglia has a strange face , like he ' s constantly on the verge of a stroke . gretchen weiners is in it ( her dad invented toaster strudel ) . zoe saldana literally pops up for five minutes .\nthe\ndirty deeds\nare a legend at west valley high . a series of off - color challenges that must be completed during the night before homecoming day , the\ndirty deeds\nhave only been completed once , and the name of the student is legendary . now , zach ( 27 - year old milo ventimiglia playing an 18 - year old ) has decided that the only way to win the heart of smarty - pants meg ( lacey chabert ) is to complete all ten dirty deeds . the school is divided into two cliques : jocks and everyone else . the jocks do what they can to prevent zach from succeeding , throwing impediments in his way at every turn . ( why ? because movie jocks are always boorish kill - joys , that ' s why . ) everyone else is rooting for him , and someone is throwing a wild party to celebrate the event . meanwhile , zach also has a couple of dumb cops to deal with , as well as a pissed - off security guard ( played by a slumming charles durning ) .\nthis film is a sort of \u201cwhat if\u201d fairy tale that explores the idea of being careful what you wish for . money , as we all know , is the root of all evil and this film brilliantly displays this by showing the bumpy road this couple goes down when what the money gets them becomes their main goal . the way this movie plays out is absolutely superb and the performances juno temple and michael angarano give are priceless . if there ever were a movie that shows why money shouldn\u2019t be your ultimate goal , the brass teapot is it .\ndirty deeds offers the grandmother of all fart jokes . an old lady has an attack of flatulence that goes on for about 30 seconds before she lets out a sigh of relief . unless you ' re a seven - year old , this kind of thing is more tedious than amusing . then there ' s the scene in which the hero uses a loaf of wheat bread as a masturbatory tool . later , someone is shown delightedly munching on a sandwich made from that bread . there may be a certain irony to this , but is it funny ? the filmmakers think it ' s hilarious - they drag out the episode to extraordinary lengths . movies like dirty deeds are supposed to be in bad taste - but that ' s only excusable if they ' re funny , which isn ' t the case here .\nthis movie was a little strange to me the first time i saw it . but , when i watched it a second time i was able to glean a pretty good understanding of it . this film is really about how the worldview of teens change as they get older . it\u2019s always weird when you come of age and your little world you thought you knew so well gets rocked and completely turned on his head . as teenage girls , we\u2019ve all been through almost the same things the main characters has and that makes this film much more realistic but still gives a \u201cdream come true\u201d like ending .\ni like the premise of this film . a young teenager ( played by one of my favorite up and coming actors milo ventimiglia ) has to do ten dirty deeds so his crushes brother doesn ' t make a fool of himself . i thought this movie had some funny parts to it . i ' m not going to say is was hilarious throughout the whole movie , but there were a few scenes hear and there that were hilarious in my opinion . that scene were the police officer tells biggs that them being the leaders of this school is depressing was hilarious . i also loved the soundtrack . every song from the soundtrack that was played in the movie fit the moment pretty well . that soundtrack has to\u2026\ni know the plot of this film sounds weird , but it is actually a very good coming of age film . the main character , aaron , comes from a very controlling home life and is completely shocked when he delves into the college dorm environment . it\u2019s interesting to see how he adapts to college life as well as handle the confusing feelings he develops for an older woman who is dating a cop and her precocious 14 year old who dreads her home life . personally , i think this is a very fun movie to watch and accurately displays what it\u2019s like to have confusing and conflicting sexual feelings .\ni absolutely love this film ! it\u2019s easily one of my favorite indies of the year due to its unique style and story . not to mention , it was written by joss whedon . what i really like about this movie is that , although it does have a sci - fi background , it doesn\u2019t let that overrun the main plot of the story . these two people , who\u2019ve never met each other , form a bond that literally reaches beyond the bounds of possibility , which makes you feel much more emotionally invested in their relationship . this film is beautifully shot and tells one of the most unique sci - fi love stories i\u2019ve ever seen .\nat the core of\ndirty deeds\nis a likable , good - hearted teen comedy with some young , appealing actors and decent writing . but , in the day of\nunrated\nbeing splashed across every other dvd , stuff like\ngood - hearted\njust doesn ' t get the job done anymore so the screenwriters spiced this up with a lot of unnecessarily gross - out moments . there was just no reason for any of that here .\nhigh school student zach harper ( milo ventimiglia ) sets out to complete the\ndirty deeds\n- an outrageous list of ten challenges that must be completed between dusk and dawn on the friday night of his high school ' s homecoming weekend . the only student to complete the entire list , duncan rime ( todd zeile ) , did so in 1989 when only 8 tasks composed the list . rimes later reveals that whenever someone completes the entire list , more are added to it .\nthis movie does start off a bit slow but it\u2019s one of the most unique love stories i\u2019ve seen in a while . it starts with the typical , \u201coh i hate you\u201d narrative but , as their journey goes on , thom and claire begin to understand each other and fall in love in the process . their repertoire during their journey from new york to california pretty much outlines the stages of most modern relationships . they usually start with some form of animosity or naivety , snowball into understanding and then they give into their emotions . i won\u2019t dare give away the ending of this film but , much like \u201cthe breakup\u201d , it is bittersweet and very realistic . this film is a true testament of what happens in a relationship that occurs in a forced and unexpected manner .\ncall back : jen announced that rachel buff is giving out awards the next day at the carnival . one of the deeds sees zach having to get a homecoming queen ' s bra . guess who he just happens to run into while at a bar ?\nhypocritical humor : one of the deeds sees zach having to steal a homecoming queen ' s bra . he hits up a woman and asks , but she rebuffs him saying he ' s sick . cut to her in dominatrix garb with her\nslave .\nhow dirty are the deeds ? one calls for drinking beer in front of a police officer . another requires that the contestant acquire the bra of a homecoming queen . a body has to be stolen from a morgue . a bully has to be punched in the face . and so on\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 nothing daring or extraordinary , yet , done right , it ' s easy to see how the movie could have been diverting . but little about this movie is\nright .\nthe acting is stiff and unconvincing , and there isn ' t a hint of a spark between zach and meg .\nalthough the list of deeds was supposedly created in the early 80s , there are a few deeds that don ' t seem to make sense to have existed since inception .\nsteal a car worth more than $ 100k\nseems unlikely , because the average cost of a new car in the 80 ' s was $ 7200 . it is also unlikely that the car dealership would have the same inflatable leprechaun or the lodge would have the same night watchmen for over 20 years . it is also believed that the list could have been created in the ' 70s .\ni love independent films . to me , they always seem to have much more heart and in depth story lines than most of the blockbusters that come out in theaters . since independent film makers don\u2019t have a major studio or a general audience to please , they have much more creative freedom , therefore are allowed to bring their passion projects to life . with this in mind , i\u2019ve decided to compile a list of my top 10 favorite indie films .\nzach attempts to complete the deeds for his classmates , meg and george cummings ( lacey chabert and david collins ) . meg and george ' s younger brother , kyle ( wes robinson ) , wants to do the challenge to earn the respect of the school ' s jocks , who are constantly bullying him . meg and george are concerned for their brother , and insist that zach stop him from trying to do something so foolish . while meg and george had no intention of zach attempting the deeds in place of their brother , zach decides to take on the challenge .\nzach , tries to protect the heroin ' s brother , who had accepted a challenge from \u2018the most popular guy at school ' to perform the deeds but he ends up accepting the challenge himself because the prize had been changed to the hot girl meg on whom zach has a huge crush .\nthe night begins , and zach easily checks off the first item on the list , drink beer in front of the cops , by pouring a beer into a coffee cup and consuming it in front of them . this way , the cops , who are determined to stop all those who attempt the deeds , have no idea of zach ' s intentions of completing the list . as zach attempts the nine remaining deeds , the jocks do everything in their power to prevent him from completing it . throughout his crazy night , zach enlists the help of those around him to accomplish the difficult tasks . along the way , zach meets duncan rime who tries to warn him about how hollow the victory can be . afterwards , zach refuses to continue , but dan and jd ( the tough kid from deed # 2 ) decide to try to ruin the carnival so that zach will be blamed . with some last - minute help from vincent scarno ( the owner of the car from deed # 8 ) , zach is able to turn the tables in time . in the midst of everything , zach , meg and george begin to develop feelings for each other , and zach and meg end up falling in love over the list of\ndirty deeds\n.\nproblem # 1 is evident . this movie is rated pg - 13 . imagine animal house or revenge of the nerds with a pg - 13 rating and you get an idea of the kinds of compromises necessary to allow teenagers into this movie . there are a couple of scenes that cry out for nudity , but it can ' t happen . there are certain genres in which viewers have a right to expect gratuitous toplessness , and dirty deeds belongs to one . depriving an audience of bare breasts is not going to go over well . but that ' s the price that goes with neutering an obviously r - rated concept to fit into a pg - 13 slot .\nthe ten\ndirty deeds\nare as follows : 1 . drink a beer in front of a cop . 2 . punch the toughest kid in town . 3 . masturbate into a loaf of bread in the supermarket bathroom . 4 . move the inflatable leprechaun from the local car lot to the school football field in one piece . 5 . steal a dead body and put it in the middle of the school . 6 . get a signed homecoming queen ' s bra . 7 . steal the blank lodge ' s night watchman ' s artificial leg . 8 . steal a car worth over $ 100 , 000 . 9 . find duncan rime . 10 . ruin the homecoming carnival . see more \u00bb\na truly australian film which captures the life of mobsters in the cross in sydney in 1969 . very funny and even true to some facts , this movie is worthwhile to see and if you still think americans dont belong in australia , well , this is for you . plenty of plot twists help to keep it going and even if you dont understand the language , if its on dvd you can just turn on the subtitles . dont see it if you ' re not australian - but if you are its a 8 / 10 easily .\n: lawton cheated on numerous occasions . he and his friends slashed his tires and falsely pretended to be someone else who was pretending to help him with a deed , only to lead him to elsewhere . then , when lawton sees zach is completing the deeds , beat him up as he was leaving and then got jd to return for his revenge after\nit ' s end of high school year time and it ' s prank night ! ! mix in porkys and all the other modern day high school movies and this is what you get . it ' s about a guy who takes on the 10 dirty deeds , it hasn ' t been done for years and the last person to complete them all was about 13yrs ago and for the last bunch of years no one has tried and before that some only managed to do a few . has everything you expect , dorks , jocks , pot heads , white guys pretending to be black , house party thrown by a freshman trying to get in with the seniors , thick cops , boob shots , ditsy cheerleader types . and 10 pranks to be done by one guy all been done before and been done better , but still it ' s quite watchable .\nfull of retroactive recognition galore and a laughably exaggerated spin on the teen comedy genre , this movie follows zach on his quest to win over his brainy beauty after her dorky younger brother agrees to take on the school bully by engaging in dares to prove he ' s tough . to get her brother off the hook , he does the deeds and ends up getting way more than he bargained for . . . like an ex criminal friend , a model ' s bra and most importantly , the girl . cliches follow .\nalthough this is a b movie at best and the plot is nothing special , i really like the tone this movie sets . we\u2019re meant to sympathize with the main character zach because he\u2019s a rebel who , although he refuses to admit it to others , is unsure of his future and is scared that he\u2019ll end up being someone he doesn\u2019t want to be . honestly , i think we can all really empathize with that when we think back to what we were like in high school . we spent 4 years in a place that was a prerequisite to the \u201creal world\u201d and we were all scared , at least a little , about what our future held . plus , we were pressured about what college we were going to go to and what we should study . these are some of zach\u2019s concerns , which is why he never really takes anything seriously and decides to step in for his crush\u2019s brother . the more pressure is put on us about our future , the more we want to do dangerous things to help us take our minds off of it . in this respect , i applaud this film for capturing teen angst and uncertainty in a unique way .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthree college roommates join a bus full of gorgeous models and travel the country to compete in a national beer pong championship . with a busload of attractive women who knows how much fun they could have ?\nwhen adam accidentally gives up the location for the senior skip day party to his school ' s principal , he offers up his house as a new location . but for it to be a success , he needs to get . . . see full summary \u00bb\nvan wilder starts his freshman year at coolidge college and embarks on an adventure to land the campus hottie and liberate his school from sexual oppression and party dysfunction .\nthe two most popular guys in high school decide to ditch football camp for cheerleader camp . for the girls and for the glory .\nwhen two freshmen pledges are accepted into the biggest party frat on campus ( alpha house ) , they think they have it all . that is , until the assistant dean forces the alphas to share their . . . see full summary \u00bb\na wild weekend is in store for three high school seniors who visit a local college campus as prospective freshmen .\na group of nerdy college guys who can ' t seem to connect with girls their own age discover the excitement of hooking up with sexy older women .\ntaj mahal badalandabad leaves coolidge college behind for the halls of camford university in england , where he looks to continue his education , and teach an uptight student how to make the most out of her academic career .\n1973 sydney : an australian gangster sees booming business , due to u . s . soldiers being in town for relaxing between their tours to the vietnam war , attracts the attention of first the chicago mafia , and then their east coast competitors .\ncool is a struggling actor fed up with stereotypical african -

creator of the 1960s british television series the avengers , has suggested that the mildly excentric character of major hammond , played by ralph richardson , was the inspiration for iconic john steed , played by patrick macnee .\nalthough both measures seem to have the potential to alter the position of the landmarks used to measure the q angle and were statistically significant predictors of the magnitude of the q angle , changes in tibiofemoral angle seem to have a substantially greater impact on the magnitude of the q angle than femoral anteversion . this is based on interpretation of the regression coefficients ( b ) , which revealed that every 1 - degree change in tibiofemoral angle predicted approximately a 0 . 60 - degree change in q angle in both males and females , whereas every 1 - degree change in femoral anteversion predicted only a 0 . 18 - degree change in q angle . this suggests that a greater change in the magnitude of femoral anteversion is required before an appreciable change in the frontal plane positions of the landmarks is reflected in the measure of q angle . this may be explained by previous findings 43 that in weight - bearing , rotation of the femur may occur underneath the patella and potentially not change its position , resulting in a minimal medial displacement of the patella . collectively , these findings suggest that although various malalignments of the hip and knee are related to changes in q angle , those that involved frontal plane deviations seem to have a greater impact on the magnitude of change compared with deviations in other planes .\nas previous studies examining q angle as a risk factor for knee injuries have reported inconsistent findings , 4 , 5 , 14 \u2013 21 identifying the anatomical factors that may influence the anatomical landmarks from which the q angle is derived may help clarify its role in dynamic knee function . given that more than 1 anatomical variable has the potential to alter the q angle and that their independent effects differ in magnitude , it may be that the measurement of q angle alone is not sufficient to identify individuals at risk for knee injury . rather , it may be the unique combination of alignment characteristics that collectively contribute to the increased risk of knee injury .\nin addition to its espionage heritage q planes has a number of other claims to fame . brian clemens , co -

parts 15 , 25 , 34 \u2013 37 , 48 ; however , reasons for this sex difference are still unknown . previously , it was thought that the greater q angle in females was a result of females having a wider pelvis compared with males ; however , this has been well disputed . 34 , 35 , 49 to our knowledge , a study by pantano et al 50 is the only study that has empirically shown that sex differences in anatomical characteristics contribute to greater q angle in females . they report that subjects with a high q angle ( \u226517 degrees ) had a greater pelvic width to femur length ratio compared with subjects with a low q angle ( \u22648 degrees ) . the limitation with this study was that these results are based on a relatively small sample size ( n = 10 per group ) . although not the primary purpose of this study , our results suggest that greater q angle in females may be a result of females having greater structural femoral anteversion and tibiofemoral angle compared with males . this is based on previous work noting that each of these values is greater in females compared with males 25 and our current observations that greater femoral anteversion and tibiofemoral angle were associated with greater q angle , regardless of sex .\nexcessive q angle has been identified as a potential risk factor for knee injuries , but evidence to support this relationship is unclear . a reason for these inconsistent findings may be in part due to limited understanding of how other anatomical characteristics influence the magnitude of the q angle . this is the first study to our knowledge that has examined the collective alignment of the lower extremity and its relationship to q angle . our findings that the q angle largely represents a frontal plane measure suggest that independently examining the q angle for its effects on lower extremity injuries may not be sufficient . the rotational alignments not accounted for in the q angle may be important factors toward understanding knee injuries , which are thought to result from a combination of transverse and frontal plane motions . until all relevant postural characteristics are accounted for in future study designs , the relationships between static alignment , dynamic knee function , and injury risk will remain largely theoretical . continuing to understand the relationship among alignment characteristics may help clinicians effectively identify those that may be at greater risk for injury and therefore help us develop intervention strategies to subsequently reduce the risk of a lower extremity injury .\nq planes was a knock -

planes to bring them down , decades before james bond made such scenarios commonplace . one can only hope the screenwriters of the spy who loved me ( 1977 ) were inspired by this movie to create their own plot of a submarine - stealing oil tanker .\nanatomical alignment of the lower extremity has been proposed as a risk factor for lower extremity injuries , in particular , knee injuries . 1 \u2013 7 among these lower extremity alignment variables , the quadriceps angle ( q angle ) has been frequently studied , which is defined as the angle formed by a line from the anterior superior iliac spine to the patella center and a line from the patella center to the tibial tuberosity . 8 as q angle represents the direction of the quadriceps muscle force vector in the frontal plane , 9 excessive angulation is thought to predispose individuals to injuries caused by abnormal quadriceps forces acting at the knee and patellofemoral joints . however , the extent to which excessive q angle increases the risk of knee injury remains unclear . although the q angle has been suggested as a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament injury ( acl ) , 10 \u2013 13 retrospective risk factor studies 4 , 5 , 14 have failed to confirm this relationship . q angle has also been associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome , 15 \u2013 17 but others 18 \u2013 21 have observed no difference in q angle when comparing patients with patellofemoral pain with healthy individuals . moreover , the degree of angulation that is thought to be excessive and predispose one to knee pathology remains unclear . 15 \u2013 17\nto warn the luftwaffe that the british secret service knew of the aircraft\u2019s fate , it is alleged that secret service funds were used to finance a film that told the story of an aircraft going missing over the english channel . lord vansittart of denham was a friend of sir alexander korda , who had founded london films at denham studios . in 1939 london films released q planes , which was called clouds over europe in the united states of america . in the film several british planes carrying secret equipment disappear over the english channel , brought down by a mysterious ray that was beamed from a salvage ship that was presumed , but never stated , to be german .\ni loved q planes ( 1939 ) for how the trio of laurence olivier , ralph richardson & valerie hobson interacted together . too bad they didn ' t have more scenes as a collective for they were so fluent playing off each other ! otherwise this is a wisecracking spy story which is kept entertaining without taking anything very seriously . playful with richardson getting to showcase his comic brilliance and few have ever looked more beautiful then hobson here !\n= 0 . 003 ) for males and females , respectively . once all alignment variables were accounted for , greater tibiofemoral angle and femoral anteversion were statistically significant predictors of greater q angle in both males ( tibiofemoral angle\nin regard to pathologies of the patellofemoral joint , greater q angle has been shown to be highly correlated ( r = 0 . 919 ) to a larger laterally directed muscle force vector on the patella . 9 this larger laterally directed muscle force may in turn lead to lateral patellar tracking 9 and an increase in patello - femoral contact pressures , 54 which are thought to predispose an individual to patellofemoral pain . 24 however , a relationship between excessive q angle and the development of patellofe - moral pain has not been clearly established . 15 \u2013 21 the lack of consistent findings in these investigations may again be explained by the influence of other lower extremity alignment factors ( ie , rotational deformities ) , along with q angle , that have been suggested to result in abnormal patellofemoral mechanics . 24 , 55 because rotational lower extremity malalign - ments are largely not accounted for in the measurement of q angle , investigating the effects of other lower extremity alignment variables along with q angle may provide a clearer picture as to the role that lower extremity static alignment plays in the development of patellofemoral pain .\nenjoyable espionage story , not too serious , well acted by leads and supporting actors , good dialogues . some of the sci -

year friendship and theatrical collaboration and had just completed othello , with richardson in the title role and olivier as iago , when this film was made . the film was produced by irving asher , an american , with british film impresario alexander korda as executive producer .\nthe properties of moir\u00e9 fringes in talbot interferometry are analyzed when the angle between the two grating planes is small . the results indicate that the tilt angle of the moir\u00e9 fringes , observed just behind the test grating , is sensitive to the small angle . based on this sensitivity , several features of parallelism of the two grating planes are presented , and the influence of the small angle when checking the beam collimation of a lens is also discussed . the validity of the theoretical analysis is illustrated by experiment .\nq . o . k . , breathing in through the nose , out through the mouth . s o what happened on thursday ? a . the f . c . c . met to decide whether to change the rule banning cellphone use in flight . while three of the five f . c . c . commissioners voted to repeal the rule , the department of transportation , which governs flights , stepped in and said it would consider banning the use of cellphones for voice calls on planes .\nairline passengers have been in an uproar since news broke that the federal communications commission was planning to overturn a rule that banned the use of cellphones on planes while in flight . the following are some of the most popular questions i get from readers on this topic .\nthis humorous espionage thriller refuses to take itself too seriously . it is very much a precursor to the james bond films of the 1960s , likely because it was co - written by jack whittingham , who later helped create the film version of bond . whittingham was one of the principal architects of thunderball ( 1965 ) , originally intended to be the first 007 picture . many classic bond elements are found in q planes , including bringing down planes electronically ( as in dr . no ) , memorably quirky characters , tongue - in - cheek humour and a big battle at the end . its influence extended even further than bond ; patrick macnee says he based his charming , offbeat john steed character from 1960s tv classic series the avengers on ralph richardson ' s scene - stealing portrayal in this film .\nq planes did well but richardson\u2019s film career didn\u2019t really take off then or ever . he did plenty but never enjoyed the kind of star power afforded to olivier . he just wasn\u2019t the leading man type but at comedy , he could have done well . still , it\u2019s not surprising that richardson didn\u2019t spend the rest of his career playing in spy comedies , given the opportunities available to him on the stage but it\u2019s a shame that he didn\u2019t do more movies like this anyway . producer alexander korda had already worked with richardson before ( on things to come [ 1936 ] ) and was able to recognize in him the talents to pull off a role like this . comedy takes skill , timing and instinct but gets precious little industry recognition . richardson had all three but either lacked the desire to do more or the star power to get further offers . no matter . i won\u2019t sit here bemoaning the dearth of spy comedies with the team of richardson , olivier and hobson . i\u2019ll simply be happy that we have q planes , quirks , quips and all .\nq . why did the d . o . t . step in ? a . as my colleague edward wyatt noted , the pushback is a reaction to the widespread public outrage over the proposal by the f . c . c . to loosen the rules .\nfurther supporting this premise is the lack of relationships between pelvic angle and navicular drop with the q angle . based on clinical expertise and observation , 3 , 22 \u2013 24 , 44 \u2013 46 we hypothesized that greater anterior pelvic tilt and pronation ( as measured by navicular drop ) would also predict q angle magnitude . specifically , we expected that greater anterior tilt of the pelvis would change the spatial orientation of the anatomical landmarks similar to hip anteversion where the patella would displace medially and the tibial tuberosity would displace laterally . this was based on a previous report 47 that an anterior pelvic tilt results in the acetabulum shifting backward , causing the femur to internally rotate on the pelvis . our hypothesis that a greater navicular drop would also be a predictor of greater q angle was based on previous studies that reported that an excessive pronation is associated with internal rotation of the lower extremity and increased knee valgus 3 , 44 and is therefore suggested to result in greater q angle . 45 , 46 as previously discussed , both increased anterior pelvic tilt and navicular drop would result in rotational changes in the femur and tibia , 3 , 22 \u2013 24 , 44 \u2013 46 displacing the patella medially and the tibial tuberosity laterally , which do not seem to be sufficient to alter the frontal plane landmarks used in the measurement of q angle .\nby the end of the movie i still had not the first idea what q planes were actually supposed to be ( planes being flown on the quiet ? ) : the movie\u2019s title seems to have been one of those just dreamt up somewhere . i had no idea , too , what the initial sequence was supposed to be all about : hammond is discovered by a platoon of cops on the couch in someone else\u2019s apartment , seemingly drunk but oh no he\u2019s not really . i was lost on the physics of the miracle ray . at one stage tony tries to explain it : \u201cmarconi was working on a ray when he died . he could cut a motorcar engine at twenty - five yards . these fellows must have perfected it for long - distance . \u201d i listened to this , and came away none the wiser .\na jolly bit of fun . the pacing is a little too quick for my liking , and i don ' t mean in terms of the dialogue . i really enjoyed the really fast - paced wit and intelligence of the writing and its delivery , which reminded me of his girl friday , but in terms of the characterisation q planes loses quite a bit through this . tony and kaye ' s relationship in particular confuses me . olivier is not given the best material , leaving ralph richardson to take the limelight with a wonderfully written and humorous part .\nq . does this actually happen ? a . yes . in europe , virgin atlantic allows unlimited data connections to all passengers , but the airline lets only six people talk on a cellphone at the same time . most lufthansa flights allow only data connections through a cellphone and no phone calls .\nincreases from 0 % to 100 % , spaces between zno nanoparticles on the surface gradually increase and polar planes and corresponding surface free energy of the thin films increase first and then decrease . therefore , the variety of wca could be mainly attributed to the change of surface morphology of the zno thin films . figure\nstarring alongside ralph richardson and valerie hobson , laurence olivier portrays a test pilot engaged in secret experimental missions in this witty , cleverly plotted world war two spy drama . briskly directed by hollywood veteran tim whelan and featuring typically innovative art direction from vincent korda , q planes is presented here in a brand - new transfer from the original film elements . the frequent disappearance of new bombing planes on their trial flights - one off the coast of america , one off the french coast , another in russia , and a fourth in england - has left the authorities perplexed . while there is no clear evidence of foul play , the authorities call in scotland yard , and major hammond is assigned to investigate the mystery . he is one of only three men who refuse to believe that the disappearances are not the result of sabotage - much to the resentment of mr barratt , head of plane manufacturer barratt and ward . . . special features : [ ] image gallery\nwith atcq ' s latest album coming out right after election day , it only seems fitting that their lyrics would reflect the sensitive topics that are currently shaping the culture . during their short conversation , q - tip went on to discuss the tensions in this country led by capitalism , racism , fears , and more .\nregarding olivier ' s performance in the film , critic dilys powell recalled\nbeing surprised that the actor made so slight an impression\n, and described him as\ndashing but undistinguished .\nfor olivier scholars and fans , q planes shows the dramatic difference his subsequent american work with wyler and hitchcock made on his film acting . here , olivier is at the height of the glib , self - conscious acting style of the 15 pictures he had made before his work with wyler . olivier writes that it was only then he learned to stop condescending to pictures as a mere paycheck between shakespeare productions and instead master acting for the camera as its own form .\nralph richardson and laurence olivier had already developed quite the reputation among actors in the 1930s as powerhouses of the london stage . both had worked together in the west end and had recently worked together on a production of othello at the old vic , with richardson in the title role and olivier as iago . so the fact that their first film together should be a spy comedy seems counter - intuitive until you see it and ask yourself why it didn\u2019t happen more often ? richardson and olivier , joined by valerie hobson , turn out to be one hell of a good comedy team and q planes is a comedy so quickly paced and expertly timed , it still seems fresh today .\nq planes has a stunning cast . aside from hobson ( i can\u2019t remember her looking lovelier than she does here ) , olivier and richardson , there are some headlining actors even among the uncredited parts\u2014derek farr ( as hammond\u2019s aide ) , ian fleming , sally gray and the great miles malleson . what the movie manages to generate from this cast is , alas , very little . it would be easy to describe it as just yet another propaganda movie aimed at persuading the us to recognize\u2014which of course it didn\u2019t in 1939\u2014that nazism was a bad thing and should be countered . but at the time the movie was made there wasn\u2019t much realization in the uk that such persuasion would be necessary .\nseveral scenes were filmed at brooklands - the clubhouse and the banking are clearly visible . when the ministry dragon rapide comes into land , a wellington is just visible in the background . the test plane appears to be an airspeed oxford ; other planes were tiger moths and gypsy moths , and possibly a bristol fighter ( just the engine and propeller are seen ) .\nwhile i never questioned the talents of ralph richardson ( what fool would ? ) i don\u2019t think i realized until seeing q planes some years ago that he was such a talented comic actor . there is no cringing mugging , no dripping condescension , no big delivery of punchlines . instead , he effortlessly releases a stream of quips from the opening of this quirky little film to its closing moments , and they work so well one marvels at how easy he makes it look . and when he\u2019s teamed up with olivier , the two do such a splendid job with comic banter that had that whole shakespearean act dried up for them they could have made a career on the stage as a proto - nichols and may .\neveryone involved with this brisk comedy / thriller seems to be enjoying themselves immensely . it ' s a ripping yarn about spies , disappearing planes and a secret ray gun , lit up by olivier and richardson , with lots of cheerful gags along the way . it ' s dated , of course , but if you can leave that aside it ' s still good fun .\nthe relationships identified among the lower extremity alignment characteristics in the current study are limited to the alignment characteristics measured by a single examiner with known measurement reliability . we also acknowledge that other anatomical and postural measures could potentially influence q angle ( eg , coxa vara , joint laxity , patella mobility , muscular properties , and knee version ) and impact dynamic motion and knee injury risk . in fact , approximately 80 % of the variance in the q angle was unexplained by the alignment measures studied in the current investigation . although we are continuing work in this area , we hope that the findings of this study lead to a more comprehensive approach in the examination of a lower extremity alignment when considering anatomical contributions to dynamic lower extremity motion and knee injury risk .\nreal telemetry offers better safety ! we recommend the telemetry for the very simple reason that the radio can warn you if you are having a reception issue on the aircraft . we consider this very important . this is good for you , and it is great for the hobby . some other brands claim to offer telemetry but they lack this key safety feature . if your current radio does not have an rssi feature , then you should seriously consider upgrading today . why guess if you are having any issues ? with telemetry your transmitter will alert you if the radio link starts to weaken . this can happen due to poor aircraft layout , radio damage , or some issue at the field . it has saved many planes , and will continue to do so . no more waiting for our planes to crash !\nnow that a tribe called quest ' s new album we got it from here . . . thank you 4 your service is finally out , the members have a lot to say about what inspired their first album in nearly two decades . during a recent stop by the daily show , q - tip discussed the influences on the group ' s latest album with host trevor noah .\nfast paced spy thriller about sabotage with a droll government servant / secret serviceman ( ralph richardson ) , his journalist sister ( valerie hobson ) and an air force pilot ( laurence olivier ) racing against time to discover who is using some device to get planes to go missing while flying on combat missions . delighful mixture of screwball comedy and political intrigue works marvelously to create an entertaining little gem . richardson is hilarious ! !\nhe levels up again tonight with the help of kanye west \u2014\u201dthat part\u201d is murky and murderous , with gloomy synths and echoing vocals that make the two rapper\u2019s verses stand out like lightning against storm clouds . ye and q are howling at the moon on this one , and it sounds great\u2014especially when kanye lets loose at the end of the track : \u201cwalking living legend man / i feel like kobe ! \u201d\njoey badass is currently gearing up for the release of his forthcoming album all - amerikkkan bada $ $ . ahead of the album ' s april 7 release , joey first previewed what was to come with the striking visuals for his lead single\nland of the free .\ntoday , joey is back with another track taken from this new album , a collaboration with schoolboy q titled\nrockabye baby .\nq . are there any reports of passengers arguing because a seatmate is talking on a cellphone ? a . not as far as officials can tell . a study by the f . a . a . in 2012 found no reports \u201cof air rage\u201d from passengers because of people talking on cellphones . it seems most people are respectful of their fellow passengers and chat only when it\u2019s absolutely necessary for short periods of time .\nas i was saying , this pommy propaganda piece was a major inspiration behind the avengers . series creator brian clemens and patrick macnee himself specifically aimed at duplicating not only ralph richardson \u2018s character but also the basic situation of a government agent working with a civilian to solve crimes . macnee\u2019s character , john steed , was introduced in a show called police surgeon , and was soon given his own series entitled the avengers . his first companion was ian hendry as the aforementioned police surgeon , but was soon replaced by sexy female assistants in the shape of honor blackman , diana rigg and um , whatshername . that\u2019s what happens when you follow a class act like diana rigg . oh , and in the new avengers we had the absolutely fabulous joanna lumley , a former bond girl , which brings me neatly to the influence q planes had over the bond films .\nralph richardson plays major hammond , an agent for the british government looking into several mysterious disappearances of airplanes outfitted with new technologies . what\u2019s happening to the planes is anyone\u2019s guess and the most predominant assumption seems to be that they\u2019re crashing into the sea . hammond doesn\u2019t buy that for a second and thinks they\u2019re being taken for their technology . he questions the owner of the aircraft company employing the flight crews but doesn\u2019t get a very warm welcome .\nq . but who actually wants this change ? a . funny you should ask . there are very few people who actually want the ability to be able to talk on their phone during a flight , but there are a lot of passengers who have asked the f . c . c . for the ability to send text messages and use their phone data connection . voice calls were simply a byproduct of those requests .\nq . technically , how does this even work ? i lose cell signals on my phone above 10 , 000 feet . a . the airlines would fit a device called a picocell to the bottom of a plane . the device acts like a giant booster for cellular signals . picocells are essentially tiny cellular base stations , much like your wi - fi hotspot at home , which typically cover relatively small areas , like an airplane .\nfirst , the total global warming impact of each flight is thought to be around twice as high as the co2 emissions alone ( see ' what ' s an aviation multiplier ? ' , below ) . second , the figures are skewed in favour of british travellers . the standard way to account for the emissions for an international flight is to allocate half to the country of departure and half to the country of arrival . but uk residents take up two - thirds of the seats on the average plane landing at or taking off from a british airport . this means the official statistics are effectively offloading the emissions of british holidaymakers and businesspeople on to the countries they ' re visiting . third , the aviation industry causes emissions over and above those of the planes themselves . the processing and transportation of the aviation fuel , and the manufacture and maintenance of planes , airports and support vehicles all create extra carbon dioxide .\nwartime spy comedy starring laurence olivier , ralph richardson and valerie hobson . scotland yard ' s major hammond ( richardson ) is called in to investigate the disappearance of several missing british planes . teaming up with dashing pilot tony mcvane ( olivier ) , hammond discovers that enemy agents are bringing down the aircraft with a powerful ray , projected from a ship in the atlantic . when mcvane too is abducted from the skies , hammond has to speed to his rescue .\nwritten and produced in september 1938 , just before olivier sailed for america to star as heathcliff in wuthering heights ( 1939 ) , q planes is historically interesting for its contrast to later british war films and to olivier ' s later film career . the film might be called the last of the\nneutral britain\nspy comedies , which hitchcock had pioneered in the 39 steps ( 1935 ) and the lady vanishes ( 1938 ) , its tone blends a spy thriller with high - tech villains , sophisticated romance and rapid - fire comedy . the british later excelled at this genre in the james bond films from the 1960s on ( jack whittington co - wrote thunderball [ 1965 ] ) but here the comedic aspects are in contrast to the ardent , patriotic , more sombre films that the british made once war was declared and hitler began to conquer all of europe while britain stood by , seemingly helpless .\nprototype british planes are mysteriously disappearing on their test flights , and major hammond of scotland yard ( ralph richardson ) is called in to investigate , teaming up with ace pilot tony mcvane ( laurence olivier ) . the problem is still unsolved when tony goes up on a test flight and is brought down over the atlantic by a ship . when taken aboard as a captive , he discovers the other missing airmen and attempts to devise a way for them to escape .\nq . so what happens next ? a . the rule will move into a public review , where people like you and me , and airlines , can comment on the proposed repeal . the rule will most likely be changed next year to allow passengers to use their cellphones for data and text messages while above 10 , 000 feet . but , as of now , it looks as if voice calls will not be included in that change ."]}

to - order hindi film heroine - - - she could dance , pout , exude sex appeal and speak hindi fluently - - - she was relegated to supporting roles for a long chunk of her abbreviated - by - marriage career .\nsubtextual analysis aside , this sequence might seem frivolous , but i think it\u2019s an important scene for the film because it shows us hari and arti in a light moment , sharing the sort of intimacy that they can\u2019t share with anyone else \u2013 it\u2019s almost like they are waggling their thumbs at the \u201cnormal\u201d people who can speak and hear . it makes it easier to believe that these two can grow into a relationship together and that they will be able to have some fun too \u2013 that their married life won\u2019t just be a litany of struggles . it shows a side to the relationship that we don\u2019t get to see much of in the second half of the film , as things become increasingly grim .\nwhen the conjugal meetings of devyani chaubal with faltu khanna stopped devi ran out of fuel and the love laced writings stopped . it is not that she hated faltu khanna because she was one such goddess who would do anything for the one she loved . when her writings stopped six films of faltu khanna flopped and 1972 saw hema malini defeating faltu khanna without receiving any blood written letters . when the love laced writings of devi stopped the illusion began to fade . it was faltu khanna and devi who together created the illusion . both of them enjoyed the illusion ( read projection ) together . but when the illusion faded faltu khanna was alone in facing the consequences .\n( apparently it isn\u2019t politically correct to say \u201cdeaf and dumb\nthese days , though no one told the dvd subtitle - writers this ) who meet , get married and negotiate the many challenges of their shared condition . needless to say , this makes for a film with many emotional scenes , underlined by madan mohan\u2019s insistently ( and often effectively ) melodramatic background score .\nthis is a common trait amongst indian ( read bollywood ) film - makers where some of them dare to take on challenging subjects , but succumb at the last minute to box - office performance pressure by providing a more popular ending . i watched the film swades a few days ago and observed a similar ending . the film - maker , for 2 . 5 hours , presented an issue - a very realistic one , but then hurriedly wrapped up the film with a * popular * decision that the lead character takes to return to the village in india by bidding farewell to a successful nasa career . the filmmaker would have thought that if he had made the protagonist practical and made him choose his career at nasa , the general audience will not like the ending resulting in poor performance at the box - office . i feel that an even better ending would have been to keep an open ending as there is not easy solution to the issue at hand . on the contrary , and not to compare , in the movie\nordinary people\n, the filmmaker chooses a realistic and non - happy and non - melodramatic ending where the family that lost a member does not live happily ever after . this is where the filmmaker chose to dare take a difficult subject , and stuck with it . as long as a realistic story that addresses realistic issues tries to please the general audience the story will never turn into a gem . i love reading your blog . great job !\nagainst his wishes , rajesh khanna had to comply with the court ' s ruling . rajesh khanna initially faced the animosity of the victim ' s family and villagers . but slowly things changed . the film then continued with usual bollywood turns and twists and finally ended on a happy note with the victim ' s family , notably the widow , forgiving rajesh khanna for the crime .\naaj ka m . l . a . ram avtar ( 1984 ) aaj ka ram avtar mla is a 1984 film starring starring rajesh khanna in the lead role . ram avtar , played by rajesh khanna , personally grooms minister digvijay singh . when digvijay ' s political party is in need of someone to stand in the forthcoming election , digvijay recommends ram avtar as his choice .\nin movies where he was equal dish to the heroine he was dependant on the luck of mumtaz with whom he was equal dish in dushman , bandhan and apna desh . even when his hips became wider during roti the luck of mumtaz favoured him . he was main dish in bawarchi and only goraa could break the flop record of bawarchi . he was main dish in mere jeevan saathi and mere jeevan saathi broke the flop record of bawarchi . he was double dish in humshakal and asked moushami whose child she was carrying and humshakal proved what will happen if faltu ' s shakal is shown twice . faltu khanna could have luck in two shakals only if vinod khanna supported him like he did in sachcha jhoota where faltu khanna had two shakals . faltu khanna tried to repeat his double shakal flop of humshakal in deewar and demanded that his shakals be shown twice and salim javed , who did not want to see a repetition of humshakal where faltu khanna showed his shakal twice , took the film deewar without faltu khanna ' s shakal in it .\nmedia is a big vulture . when sachin bats well media will feed on his fame and write good about him . when he bats bad the same media will become vultures who feed on his failure and write about his falling scores . faltu khanna also had to face such a media that copy pasted what devi wrote . devi never spoke bad about him . even what she spoke in the bombay superstar interview was just a fact that he is going with dimple to many shrines for praying for the victory of daag . devi was an anukoola shatru of faltu khanna . she did the best pleasant thing for him . faltu khanna liked it and benefitted from it . but what they together created was poison and faltu khanna had to drink the poison alone while vinod khanna began to come up without any hype due to which the industry did not even know about vinod khanna ' s disappearance from the film industry . it is the absence of the one whose presence is frequently shown that will be visible . faltu khanna ' s absence became visible after the glorious six flops of 1972 - the year when his stardom was ended by hema malini .\nkaka had a gorgeous face and a killer smile ! !\nthat was till 1972 - the year in which he gave 6 flops . after that his smile disappeared . see namak haram . where is the\nkiller smile\nthat he had in haathi mere saathi on his face ? it was missing and in place of that killer smile he had a faded smile . the killer smile was replaced by his buttocks that had grown double the size of lady mountbatten ' s buttocks while acting in namak haram . from 1973 it was big buttock period for him with chulbulji having the last laugh of the image she projected of big buttocks which he was struggling to keep but with no success : ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )\nthe film depicts rajesh khanna a rash driver who frequently drives while drunk . one morning he drives at breakneck speed in thick fog to make up for lost time after consuming alcohol . he inevitably ends up running over and killing a farmer . but despite the opportunity to hit and run , he decides to stay and face the consequences . he is arrested by the police , charged , and brought before the courts .\nafter making a futile attempt to escape , surjit is confronted by unbridled scorn and animosity by ram din\u2019s family and other villagers , who label him a dushman . the rest of the story is based on surjit\u2019s drive to realise the dreams of his victim : getting a bumper harvest in the fields , marrying off his sister , and preventing ganga din\u2019s limited assets from falling into the hands of the avaricious landlord ( anwar hussain ) . his integration in the victim\u2019s family is complete when he saves malti\u2019s honour from the landlord\u2019s evil grasp ( who had earlier entrapped surjit in a false murder charge ) . in all these endeavours , surjit is helped by durga prasad , a larger hearted farmer ( veteran kannaiyalal in a rare positive outing ) .\nin the film , the widow of the victim finally pardoned rajesh khanna in two years ' time as she thought rajesh khanna had done enough penance with a clear conscience . in real life , the widow of nurullah sharif said on tv yesterday ,\nit is the win of money power . justice is never for the poor . i will never forgive salman for taking my husband away from me\n. it has been a little more than 13 years since the incident and the widow of the victim is yet to forgive salman .\nanother major anukoola shatru of faltu khanna was devyani chaubal . she never betrayed him . but what she did for him was to create an illusion for which only faltu khanna would be answerable if the illusion fades and reality shows . she created the illusion that he is an actor with blood written letters coming in . she used to tell this in such repeated frequencies that even today the chant continues although no one has been able to answer how many blood written letters faltu khanna got in total . since the todal number of letters were not specified by devyani chaubal everyone uses the capacity to believe that the total number of blood written letters could be one lakh , two lakh , three lakh and so on . when it was 1972 anju mahendru objected to faltu khanna sleeping with devyani chaubal and demanded that what justice is there in her cancelling her engagement with garry sobers for the sake of faltu khanna when faltu khanna continues double sleeping with anju and devyani chaubal . faltu khanna asked devyani chaubal not to come to asirwad hereafter . what faltu khanna did not know is that it was the continuous conjugal meetings between him and devyani chaubal that were the fuel for the glorious writings of devyani chaubal .\nsomething else i found jarring : when hari\u2019s boss initially makes the proposal , hari ( who doesn\u2019t yet know about the girl\u2019s condition ) firmly refuses , indicating in sign language that the gap in social status between their families is too large . this is an unedifying moment ( to say the least ) given that the film is shortly about to condemn discrimination in another sphere . basically , though hari is stricken by his son\u2019s reluctance to accept a speech - impaired girl for a wife , he himself has been attaching undue importance to the class divide \u2013 something that is a much less momentous factor in a situation where two people will be spending their lives together .\nand yet , there is an unusually whimsical , carefree moment early in the film . hari ( sanjeev kumar ) and arti ( jaya bhaduri ) are getting to know each other , going for walks together and so on . after watching a man talk into a public phone , they enter the booth and make prank calls \u2013 dialling numbers randomly , pretending to speak and listen . a succession of befuddled people answer the line at the other end , and finally there is a charming cameo : dilip kumar ( presumably playing himself ) walking down a stairway in a large house , looking around with mild annoyance at having to pick up the phone himself . he listens to hari making\nkp and oddan : you ' ve made similar points and to an extent i see what you mean , but let me try and address this more fully : i feel that you are analyzing the movie through present day glasses . kp : well , okay , but so what ? surely you don ' t expect me to climb into a time machine , go back 40 years and then write about this film ! : d but more seriously , i don ' t get this watertight distinction between how things were done then and how they are done today . fact 1 : there were some people , even in that social strata , 40 years ago , who would have defied their parents and asserted themselves ( and there were parents who would eventually have given in ) . fact 2 : there are some people , even today , and in the most seemingly progressive communities , who are completely under their parents ' thumbs in these matters . ( you do know about\nhonour killings\n, right ? ) this past - vs - present divide isn ' t a clear one by any means . also , i might be wrong about this , but in both your comments i sense an undertone of quiet respect for an idealised time when kids would toe the line and unquestioningly listen to their parents . but personally speaking i don ' t have much respect for that attitude , and naturally this colours my perspective on the ending . even assuming that it was the\ndone thing\nin the past , i don ' t think that justifies the emotional manipulation . more importantly , from a cinematic perspective , i thought the ending of koshish was poorly done - it was much too abrupt and sketchy , and the film ' s suggestion that amit is eventually happy with the decision isn ' t at all convincing . the last shot feels like a very hurried attempt to reach a happy ending . if the film had found a way to convincingly portray amit ' s change of heart ( perhaps by giving him a scene or two with the girl ) , it would have worked much better .\nall i wanted to point out is that while you and i may disagree vehemently with the choices the character makes in a movie it does not necessarily follow that it was bad character development , script or direction or filmmaking . oddan : completely agree - i should have been clearer about this in the post . like i said in my last comment , the main issue isn ' t the worldview being portrayed but the disjointedness of the film ' s climax and ending . on the other hand , the worldview does in a way contribute to the slapdash ending . i am just quibbling over the suggestion that you did not like the movie because you did not like the way a character behaved . understood . though i haven ' t said anywhere that i didn ' t like the movie !\nwasn ' t koshish based on a japanese film ? i remember reading that somewhere . i recall many vignettes from the movie , though i was just a kid when i saw it . somehow i recall aarti as refusing hari because she wasn ' t sure he could look after her , then he shows himself to be assertive and capable and she changes her mind . you said she saw his vulnerability , so i must be confusing the scenes in my mind . i remember feeling really sad when their child dies due to asrani ' s burglary . and i remember asrani - after seeing him playing only bufoony roles , it was quite unusual to see him playing this negative , exploitative role . yeah , the ending jarred even as a kid . i recall feeling annoyed at the emotional blackmail by hari - he chose a soulmate with whom he could communicate , but denied his son that privilege from some kind of misguided philanthropic drive .\nfraudsters using fake address to rig the system is not a new phenomenon . here\u2019s how

week . here\u2019s a look at ten other sports biopics bollywood has to offer in the coming months\nmost of last week , the untimely demise of rajesh khanna led television channels to feature panel discussions on the superstar\u2019s life and times , particularly his fall from the position he occupied from 1969 to \u201972 .\neven in action sequences , khanna looks credible . surely , the actor\u2019s downfall was more due to other reasons cited \u2014 unprofessionalism and arrogance among them \u2014 rather than his capacity to adapt to action - oriented roles . it is a testimony to the tragedy of khanna that at an age ( 30 ) when most male actors in hindi films barely get a toehold in the industry , khanna was to go into an irrevocable slide . perhaps it was his failure to handle superstardom and the consequent adulation which led to this sorry state of affairs .\nanother reason that comes forth is his lack of business acumen ( most actors had become business savvy pros by then ) and his utter failure to look after his dapper looks . the camera , which never lies , caught the perceptible and sudden change in his looks \u2014 receding hairline , paunch , puffy face \u2014 truthfully .\nthus , surjit singh , on a misty morning , when visibility is low , accidentally crushes a farmer , ram din , under the wheels of his truck . although he has the opportunity to escape , he gives himself up for trial in the court of a judge ( rehman , an epitome of competence , restraint and grace ) who wants to pioneer a new system of dispensing punishment . after acquiring permission for his experiment from the higher judiciary , the learned judge decrees that surjit singh will serve his sentence by ensuring the survival of deceased ram din\u2019s family , which includes his widow , malti ( meena kumari in one of her last films is adequately placed to play the role of the beleaguered widow , with her perfect timing for tragedy , and some melodrama ) , sister kamla ( naaz , passable , with her limited talent ) , two sons , a crippled father , ganga din ( veteran actor nana palsikar is able to evoke sympathy ) and ganga din\u2019s blind wife ( leela mishra , yet to become an accomplished character actor , which she did in later years ) .\nin the midst of all this , love blooms between him and phoolmati ( mumtaz ) , a gypsy who shows a bioscope in the village to earn a living . the two share a screen chemistry that is one of the abiding milestones in the 100 years of cinema . mumtaz , with her sensuous pout and body hugging dresses , is remarkable in the role . she is indeed worth watching in songs that include \u201cdekho dekho dekho bioscope dekho\u201d ( lata mangeshkar ) and \u201cmaine dekha tune dekha\u2019 ( duet by lata mangeshkar and kishore kumar ) .\nthe music , composed by laxmikant - pyarelal to lyrics by anand bakshi , adds to its lure , as does the crisp editing . other character actors , including abhi bhattacharya ( soft - hearted inspector ) , sajjan ( landlord\u2019s stooge ) , asit sen ( head constable harishankar chaurasiya ) are competent .\nakshay kumar with \u2018singh is bliing\u2019 , his fourth release of 2015

up pops kathleen turner as the mom and the ball is rolling and what harry & lloyd have to do to get that kidney is a whole nother story . dumb and dumber to caps this comedy franchise with perfectly daft maturity . it reaches for the very bottom . or as lloyd christmas says , \u201cwow , so this is what rock - bottom feels like . hm , not that bad . . \u201d\n- like high school hijinks , and the studio brass figured the youth market would be overjoyed . they were wrong . the franchise is rarely more important than the actors . people flocked to the theaters this weekend to see jim carrey and jeff daniels . period .\ndumb and dumber to is carrey ' s biggest opening since bruce almighty ' s $ 68 million in 2003 and is a needed win for the actor after a turbulent ride . his the incredible burt wonderstone flopped in 2013 ( $ 27 . 4 million worldwide ) , and mr . popper ' s penguins underwhelmed domestically with $ 68 . 2 million in 2011 .\ni reckon four out of every five jokes played to silence at the preview screening . if dumb and dumber to were a live comedian , he ' d have said ,\nis this an audience or an oil painting ?\nhe ' d have left the stage in tears .\nby the time return to planet of the apes was produced in 1975 , the franchise had already produced 5 successful feature films , a live action tv show , and a series of comic books produced most notably by marvel comics .\nthere are so many built - in jokes in the title of dumb and dumberer : when harry met lloyd that i don ' t even know where to begin .\n' dumber ' gets nastier the second time around jim carrey and jeff daniels reprise their imbecilic roles in this mean - spirited and humorless sequel that should have never been made . check out this story on urltoken urltoken\ntwo shows would turn out to be relatively successful , with ace ventura lasting 3 seasons and the mask : the animated series producing 2 seasons . dumb and dumber : the series would be the odd film out and was cancelled after just one season of 13 episodes . it would be the last show that hanna - barbera would produce for abc as it began its partnership with disney .\nno one expected the directors of the cult hit dumb and dumber to make a sequel 20 years after the original film . according to co - director bobby farrelly , \u201c dumb and dumber to was a no - brainer . after all , it ' s implied in the title . \u201d the biggest secret to the franchise is its utter fearlessness in the face of super - dumbness . co - director peter farrelly defends the decision saying , \u201cthere were a lot of people saying , \u201cthis is the dumbing of america , this is the worst\u201d but then there were some raves [ from noted critic ] pauline kael . she said it was one of the smartest comedies\u2026\u201d bobby adds , \u201c\u2026you do like harry and lloyd - particularly women , by the way , [ as ] this is our highest - scoring movie with women by a longshot . \u201d\nthe memory can cheat . as time passes , idealisation and nostalgia can mask the truth \u00e2\u20ac\u201c whether that be worshipping a movie from your childhood that would induce a cringing fit if you saw it today . yet despite a soundtrack that includes apache indian and the crash test dummies , dumb and dumber has a timeless quality . its goofy brilliance transcends any notion that it ' s a relic best left in the ' 90s alongside tamagotchis and the macarena .\nfor whatever reason , and it works out for them as often as it doesn ' t , universal has been in the habit of scooping up hollywood ' s hand - me - down franchises . to wit , as of today the eventual third dumb and dumber 3 will end up back with new line / warner bros . , thanks to the studio still having rights for a third installment ( hollywood reporter ) . but the dumb and dumber situation , where new line executives inexplicably passed on distributing a $ 40 million comedy sequel that seemed , on paper , like a pretty safe investment , is just the latest in an odd trend of universal sweeping up established franchises .\n1 ) . dumb and dumber to ( uni ) , 3 , 154 theaters / $ 14 . 2m fri . / $ 13 . 86m sat .

spirited and humorless sequel that should have never been made .\nthe original halloween was distributed in theaters by compass , a distribution studio that debuted with the carpenter classic and otherwise has barely existed since . the rights to the franchise , to the extent that it was a franchise at all back in 1978 , ended up with famed super producer dino de laurentiis who did most of his business with universal at the time . thus halloween ii and halloween iii : season of the witch ended up with the universal logo at the front . the disappointing figures for halloween iii ( which of course told a stand - alone story sans michael myers ) led to the eventual halloween iv : the return of michael myers and halloween v : the revenge of michael myers being independently distributed by galaxy international , another small -

reliant and his suspicion that kavita may be acting more out of sympathy than love eventually leads to the engagement being called off . finally , a good friend of the couple intervens and helps them to realise their follies and reunite .\nshivendra sinha did a diploma in dramatic art from london university and graduated from the royal academy of dramatic art . later he studied and trained for theatre in berlin as well as for radio , tv and film in different parts of europe . coming back to india he acted in and directed many plays and films and served on different arts and cultural bodies . \u2018phir bhi\u2019 in 1972 is his most notable film and won the national award besides many other awards .\nthe butterfly , though small , plays an important role in the sustenance of the environment . this short film sheds light on the same , by depicting the life cycle of a butterfly through the eyes of a little boy who catches them for fun .\nall donations towards the prime minister ' s national relief fund ( pmnrf ) are notified for 100 % deduction from taxable income under section 80 g of the income tax act , 1961 . \u00a9 children ' s film society india , all rights reserved .\nthe citations read like a conglomerate of official dispatches , uncomfortable mouthfuls that prompted the guests to say\nhave a heart\n. that the jury of the 27th national film awards had a heart was evident , for the best actress award was given to\nthe film remains most memorable for the subtle acting of its leads , plus the handling of the issue of relationships with the visually handicapped , revealing the emotional and perception divide between the world , the blind and the sighted , epitomized by the characters .\nshyam and soni live with their mother in the outskirts of a village . in return for a good deed , the brother and sister pair is presented with a magical conch that grants wishes . with its help the two kids assist a king to unravel and foil a plot against him and his kingdom . directed by sai paranjape , this best child actress winning film at the moscow film festival drives home the message that not only does good triumph over evil in the end , but no good deed goes unrewarded .\nhe appeared in the 2013 pakistani movie zinda bhaag , which was nominated for best foreign language film at the academy awards . also a stage actor , he co -

or indeed between any\nhandicapped\npeople and\nnormal\npeople - always run the risk of waxing trite and preachy , and sparsh does not fully avoid this hazard . some of its uncomfortable moments feel canned and facile , as when kavita , at one of her early meetings with anirudh , refers to his students as\nthose poor children ;\nanirudh bristles , telling kavita to remove the word\npoor\nfrom her vocabulary , as his children do not need her pity .\nmuch against her will , she was deputed to make a film on the blind relief association , delhi .\ni didn ' t want to go , but now i ' m glad i went -

dog sadness . their romance is delicious , sweet and even passionate at moments . and there are some truly beautiful scenes . in one , kavita shops for a new sari , closing her eyes and using her fingertips to choose one that anirudh will like . in another , anirudh makes kavita blush , describing for her why he finds her beautiful - her fragrance , the sound of her voice , the softness of her touch .\nkay kay is one of the best actors that bollywood has . it is always a pleasure to work with him . the short film format is like t -

determined work of and about sensuality . no\u00e9 uses 3 - d photography but also never stops reminding viewers that they are outside of the frame , as he directly acknowledges in one scene where an erect penis thrusts directly at the camera before ejaculating cgi semen . you can ' t watch this movie and ever really forget that you ' re watching a movie , as is reinforced by the film ' s elliptically - structured plot , droning soundtrack and periodic mid - scene black - out cuts . that ' s because murphy is , like some of no\u00e9 ' s previous blank slate heroes , a character who remembers himself at his most frustratingly vacant .\nall the actors ( ketaki mategaonkar , gauri bapat , medha manjrekar , savita malpekar , sakharam kulkarni , abhijit kelkar and vaibhav mangle ) do full justice to their characters and deliver memorable performances . but as a man taking on the system and fighting against all , including his own self , sachin khedekar towers above all . looking at him , you feel the strength of his character and the weight of his fate . it is a brilliant performance in an exceptional film that is every bit worthy of all possible awards !\nproduced by basu bhattacharya , the film went on to win three national awards including that of best actor for naseer . interestingly , sanjeev kumar was the original choice of sai and it is only when could not do it that she approached naseer . thirty five years later one could not imagine any other actor in the shoes of aniruddh parmar . few years later , sanjeev kumar did go on to play a blind protagonist in \u201cqatl\u201d who was as \u201ckaabil\u201d as hrithik roshan is trying to be this republic day . that\u2019s for another day .\ngirish joshi\u2019s screenplay ( developed from usha datar\u2019s short story ) creates a complex multi - layered old world , full of contrasts and contradictions . the locations , costumes , language , music and cinematography \u2013 all contribute to creating a perfect period - feel . it is a film that works on both , personal as well as social levels . on a personal level , we get caught up in an emotional storm brewing between various characters and on a social level , we are shaken out of slumber by the stark portrayal of some inhuman religious rituals , which once made widowed life a living hell .\nnaseer and om puri often performed together like singing a duet . different notes but always working for a harmonious whole . here in a supporting role , om manages to leave an impact , despite naseer\u2019s immersive performance , because he creates another blind character which is as real and distinct as aniruddh . add to it yet another impressive turn by shabana azmi and we have a film that continues to feel fresh . she has the amazing ability to make the mundane dramatic and the dramatic believable . cinematographer virendra saini creates a contemplative atmosphere right from the opening shot when aniruddh is following kavita\u2019s voice on a hazy delhi morning .\nm . s . sathyu , an internationally renowned filmmaker and theatre director , moved to bombay from mysore in 1952 . he did a variety of jobs including animation , documentary , tv films , tv serials , designing and directing plays and even wrote a script for a ballet before making \u2018garm hava\u2019 in 1974 , that became one of the best films on the partition and won him a golden palm nomination at the cannes film festival including several awards in india . he has since made films like \u2018bara\u2019 and \u2018kanneshwara rama\u2019 while also directing many successful plays . \u2018kala parvat\u2019 is an indo - russian joint collaboration with alexander zagurdi .\nbut what ' s it like to actually watch\nlove\n? this is a movie where non - professional actors and unsimulated sex scenes constantly encourage viewers to form a bond of alienation , instead of a bond of sympathy , with murphy . that may sound pretentious , but no\u00e9 knows exactly the type of effect he wants to achieve , and he mostly gets it . his biggest gamble is the use of first - time actors to elicit complex emotions . but he builds a complex relationship between murphy and his viewers throughout the movie , one that speaks louder than the unmoving , shrill line - readings from all three of the film ' s principle characters .\nsince the time he channelized his energy full time into marathi cinema , mahesh manjrekar has contributed a lot to the marathi cinema\u2019s resurgence . his productions ( mee shivaji raje bhosle boltoy , lalbaug - parel , shikshanachya aaicha gho and fakt ladh mhan ) have successfully touched the audience - chord with contemporary , socially relevant and thought - provoking themes . often he has erred on being too populist in his presentation with a definite eye on the box - office . but now that he has established his production house as the commercial powerhouse , he goes for the jugular and shows that he also has it in him to create a perfectly artistic period - film like kaaksprash .\nthe film ' s sex scenes are similarly mannered , mournful and distractingly graphic . but they ' re not just endurance tests , or frustrating slogs either . no\u00e9 wants you to see sex as a cocoon , so he genuinely tries to show you what attracts his young characters to each other . his earnest objectification of actors ' bodies is , in that sense , often compelling . we look at bodies in motion , and see them as body parts first , and then people trying to get lost in each other , to give each other pleasure , and to remain lost in sensations that will always remain mysterious to anyone who isn ' t experiencing them first - hand .\nlove\nmay not always be enjoyable , but it leaves an abiding mark .\nin\nlove ,\nmurphy essentially relives a past life . he is not however in control of his emotions , so his memories are fragmented , and out of order . he recalls electra because her mother calls him , giving him a sentimental oasis to cling to in order to escape his life with omi . still , in flashbacks , we see how murphy ' s relationship with omi ironically started because of electra , and how electra and murphy ' s relationship was always a co - dependent one . he , a film student with posters of\nsal\u00f3 ,\nand\nstory of o\nhanging ostentatiously on his bedroom wall , jealously obsesses over her . but eventually she , an aspiring painter , reveals that she ' s just as concerned with being protected . they form an unhealthy relationship that expresses itself through violent outbursts , and copious sex scenes that range from genuinely sexy to mechanically frantic . so while electra accuses murphy of being a bright young man who doesn ' t know what love is , she ' s just as impulsive .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nkavita ( shabana azmi ) is a depressed widow ; though her close friend manju ( sudha chopra ) urges her to step back into life and society , kavita spends her days at home , tending to a meticulous bonsai garden ( a metaphor for her stultifying confinement ) and singing sad songs to an audience of herself alone . when she accidentally meets anirudh ( naseeruddin shah ) , a bristly but charismatic blind man who runs a nearby school for blind children , kavita is moved to offer her time to the school , and begins reading to the boys and teaching them music and crafts . kavita is touched by the children , and begins to welcome warmth and happiness back into her life . she is also touched by anirudh ; a tender romance blossoms between them , and they become engaged to marry . the romance sours , though , when anirudh begins to fear that kavita is marrying him not for love , but only in search of a way to martyr herself , sacrificing her youth and independence to the care of a hapless handicapped man .\ntext ( c ) 2006 -

bechara image that hindi cinema wove around blind characters and in naseeruddin shah she has a malleable actor to realise her vision .\nthe narrative holds a soothing love story of a sighted woman and a blind man . it seems implausible but as sai sensitively unravels the layers one can figure that each one of us have handicaps . a young widow disabled by the society , kavita is struggling with her emotional vacuum when she comes across aniruddh parmar , the principal of a school for the blind . a beautiful relationship evolves which is more tactile than visual and the fragrance permeates through the celluloid . kavita buys saris that aniruddh could feel . a self made man , aniruddh allows kavita in his dark universe . however , soon self doubt creeps into the relationship as aniruddh fears dependence on kavita . aniruddh has been more than compensated by nature in other senses , including ego . is kavita trying to be a gandhari ? is she trying to justify her second love as a duty ? it leads to an intense curdling of emotions in the estuary between right and wrong .\nthere is a bigger picture as well which can be easily juxtaposed to the majority / minority question . in the outside word , blind people might be struggling to find feet but in the blind school it is the sighted who are yearning to find acceptance . sai presents it through the strand of pappu , the sighted boy among blind students . he longs for the attention of his teacher but her entire focus is on blind students . when pappu fights with a blind student , he closes his eyes to make it a fair fight but still fails to get the attention . similarly , kavita does everything to be part of aniruddh\u2019s universe but he considers it as a ritual to get over her past or as kavita\u2019s friend ( sudha chopra ) says he remains blind to her love .\nnaseer has often rated it as his most fulfilling performance . the shift in eyeballs , the arc that he creates with the stick , the way he holds the cup and the ungainly body posture , naseer almost becomes the character . in his autobiography , \u201cand then one day\u201d , naseer admits the thought of acting as a sightless person with children who were actually sightless took him as close to butterflies in the stomach as he had ever been . the key to play a blind character , he says , is that they directed their ears and not their eyes at the point they were addressing , and that caused their sometimes ungainly bodily posture , which , having absolutely no self consciousness , they were oblivious to . he imbibed it by following mittal for ten days . his education in aligarh muslim university also helped as it had one of the best schools for the blind in the country . he had observed a couple of blind classmates during college days . he tried different things to get the movement of a blind character but ultimately went by his imagination . \u201ci had always been able to shut out all aural stimuli whenever i felt like it , but shutting off all visual stimuli proved equally easy . \u201d\ncrime drama is one of the most popular genres on almost all tv and streaming networks these days . from sherlock to breaking bad , this genre has an almost cult following . take our quiz on crime drama shows to check your status in the cult !\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nanirudh parmar is blind , but he does not let this impairment bind him down . he runs a school for the blind as a principal . he meets with social worker , kavita . kavita is attracted to him , . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

up of the themes and techniques of film noir . there were a few noirs after it , but welles ' movie is really the end of the line . its decadence is damn near baudelairean ; it blooms gorgeously , a mutant flower in the ruins of a once great cinematic form . and it gives the era a fitting send -

year - old mattsson can surely look forward to several years of steady , gainful employment in the busy world of scandinavian crime cinema and television . as for gronlund , drifters represents a fairly promising debut in its clear - eyed scrutiny of a milieu most folk are happy to ignore , one in which sweden ' s much - praised social - work system is presented as playing a crucial \u2014 if not always totally effective \u2014 role . but there ' s also a certain amount of pill - sugaring in the slickness of staffan ovgard ' s cinematography and the doomy - moody stylizations of johan testad ' s intermittently - deployed score , betraying a certain degree of directorial inexperience and suggesting a lack of confidence in the material ' s considerable strengths .\na similar case inspired the 2003 film \u201c blind shaft , \u201d a chinese drama about two men who kill fellow miners for their compensation . in what seems to be an endless loop of life imitating art imitating life , some officials have said that the movie became an instruction manual for the recent killings .\n\u201csome viewers saw the film \u2018blind shaft\u2019 and found a way to get rich , \u201d the township government that oversees shisun village said in a notice posted outside the village committee office . \u201cthe culprits showed no compassion at all for life , and in particular kin and friends who were mentally impaired became assets used to make money . \u201d\nthe contents on the website may be accessed as view only and purely for non commercial personal , educational and cultural interest . under no circumstances shall any content be downloaded , transferred , copied or re -

( the victim\u2019s real identity , if it has been determined , has not been announced . ) another mine killing late that year in inner mongolia , a region of northern china , also left clues pointing to shisun village and nearby areas .\ndetectives descended on shisun and began questioning villagers . what they found were organized gangs devoted to serial killing for cash .\nget news and analysis from asia and around the world delivered to your inbox every day in the asian morning .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nsome participants recruited and killed the victims , having won their cooperation by promising good wages , friendship , even marriage . others posed as the grieving family members who turned up at the mine to demand compensation , the police have said .\nthe gangs disguised the identities of their victims , using stolen or bought identity papers that they persuaded or tricked victims into using , ensuring that their real families would not learn of their fate . most victims were quickly cremated by their fake families , making identification even harder and erasing clues about their deaths .\nthe other side of the equation that kept the business humming is the mine owners , who paid handsome sums to the impostor families in order to keep the deaths quiet . if a fatal accident were reported , the owners feared , safety regulators would shut down the mine for months while they investigated , several mine owners told the police after the killings came to light .\nif these killings sound like the plot of a thriller , that may be no coincidence .\nstill , many people have heard of the movie , and when the cases started coming to light , they were immediately described as \u201cblind shaft killings . \u201d\nsimilar cases first entered china\u2019s national consciousness in the late 1990s , when a gang with dozens of members was convicted of killing 28 migrant workers in shanxi province . those killings inspired the movie , mr . li said .\nsince then , the blind shaft scheme has been firmly implanted in the national psyche of a country peppered with thousands of notoriously dangerous mines . most likely , the shisun gang heard of it by word of mouth .\naccording to available court records , the pace of such killings appears to have picked up in recent years , possibly because compensation payments have grown . as china\u2019s regulators have clamped down on mine safety , driving down the number of accidents , the stricter regulation has perversely encouraged some mine operators to hide fatalities and pay off victims\u2019 families , increasing the incentive to carry out the crimes .\nthe recent killings have veered from the movie version in at least one conspicuous way . in the movie , the killers extorted 30 , 000 renminbi , or about $ 4 , 475 at today\u2019s rates , in hush money for one death . the shisun village gangs extracted payments of $ 75 , 000 to $ 120 , 000 from mine bosses , according to news reports .\nthe charges against the shisun suspects include homicide , faking accidents , swindling compensation , fraud and hiding crimes , though the police have not said publicly who is being charged with what .\nlong prison terms , and death sentences for the ringleaders , are likely , if similar cases are a guide . chinese courts almost invariably convict , and the suspects have not been allowed to publicly answer the charges .\nmr . wang was arrested early last year . his daughter , ms . hu , now acknowledges that he may have innocent blood on his hands .\n\u201ci think he did do something , but i don\u2019t blame him , \u201d she said . \u201che was doing it so that we could live a better life . \u201d\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nflim noir lived , loved , and thrived in the dark\u2014unlike many of its characters . but from the first flashing neon to the last crazy camera angle it was a director ' s medium .\nfemme fatale : peggy cummins and john dall shoot it out in joseph h . lewis ' gun crazy .

blowing visuals , redline never feels like it ' s heading into unnatural territory , in fact a lot of aspects about redline feel realistic and believable .\ntook a full seven years to create and used more than 100 , 000 frames in production . when finally complete , it made its debut at the 2009 locarno international film festival , more than a year before it came to japanese theaters .\nif tank girl and cowboy bebop had a movie baby that really liked racing , that baby would be redline . this 2009 science fiction anime was yakeshi koike ' s directorial debut . redline took an entire seven years to create and its release was delayed several times , but it was well worth the wait .\nmind game saw some success after its release and won best director , best film , and best script at the canadian fantasia festival in late 2005 . regardless of its initial success , the film still remains mostly unknown by anime fans and foreign film buffs alike .\noverall redline is an experience that i feel everyone should enjoy . it ' s a like a rush of energy that ' s exhilarating , fast -

speed racing like no other film has . its stretched frames and fast - paced edited\u2013set to a thumping techno soundtrack\u2013really capture the full - speed adrenaline of being behind the wheel . the last 20 minutes of the film , when the redline race is finally run , will have your eyes glued to the screen .\nthis is the most insanely exciting , visually exhilarating anime film you ' ve seen in decades . incredible fun .\ndefinitely the best looking anime film i ' ve seen , and one of the most fun films i ' ve ever watched . if you ' re interested in animation at all , this is a film to check out .\na race in space is dangerous , baby\nis pretty much a big riff on redline .\n: jp has one particular moment of ham when he announces his intent to drive in the redline .\nhowever , the art style of redline is certainly acquired . i mean , look at this dog !\nredline is a film not to be taken too seriously and anyone doing so has certainly missed the point . needless to say , if you want a realistic racing film then you have come to the wrong place . however , if you want a fast , funny , eye - watering , explosive experience that will suck you into a world which words barely do justice , this is the film you ' re after . but , more than a film , redline is an experience . every element works in melody , bouncing off and complementing one another , ultimately creating a tremendous overall work that is magical to behold , completely unlike any other anime production to date .\nredline ( 2009 ) \u2013 r : closing night title . the story of jp as he tries to make it into the biggest race in this , or any , galaxy . more than 100 , 000 hand -

provoking it doesn\u2019t have to be . i would like to think of it this way : would your rather watch film with an overly drawn out plot and character development which could be potentially tedious and slow down the fast - paced nature of the film ? or would you want to watch a film with a condensed plot that has enough story and personality to make you care about what you are watching ? personally i prefer the latter .\nthe five - minute trailer soon appeared on the internet and at successive tokyo international anime festivals . buzz and curiosity swelled . and after six years in development , redline finally had its world premiere this summer at the prestigious locarno international film festival in switzerland .\nnow onto the storytelling , which is what i believe redline could ' ve improved the most . let me explain why .\nthe people behind redline did a great job in keeping the personalities of the characters consistent and unique , except for sonoshee .\nunfortunately shares its name with a godawful film starring eddie griffin and nathan phillips but one of the most visual films i have ever seen .\nas a film about racing , the plot is fairly standard fare , but the larger than life presentation coupled with the sheer imagination and creativity that has gone into redline is second to none . the story -

the - heck moments . the middle section of the film is kind of slow moving , the section between the two races , there are some funny scenes and watching the characters interact is very fun . the story , in my opinion is the weakest part of the film , it ' s very predictable and there is little to no character development . now for the races and this is where the film really pays it ' s way , the animation is unbeatable with mind bending chases and physics , each crash , explosion , nirtos speed boost and hair pin turn is executed perfectly . you should defiantly watch this as it is a one of a kind film .\nthis is an unofficial site . all logos , images , video and audio clips pertaining to actors , characters and related indicia belong to their respective \u00a9 and \u2122 owners . all original content \u00a9 2009 -

minute runtime you are watching something very special , very different , and insanely exhilarating .\nsounds good on paper . but redline goes so overboard with its spectacle that it somehow becomes a bit dull . it\u2019s simply too much .\ngrave of the fireflies ( 1989 ) \u2013 ur : this heart -

candy visuals . with a sleek , exaggerated design and managing to capture an epic sense of speed , i was nearly exhausted by the flick ' s conclusion . the film tells the story of racecar driver\nsweet\njp ( he of the pronounced pompadour , which will come into play later in the film ) who is behind the\u2026\na story about the most popular racing event in the galaxy , the redline , and the various racers who compete in it .

luckily redline happens to have a brilliant soundtrack crafted by james shimoji , which compliments the visuals wonderfully . the soundtrack is mainly composed of techno - based music , but it works well with the action on - screen , its explosive , fast - paced and it sounds so good ! also personally i felt that redline ' s soundtrack really reminded me of the video - games f - zero gx and tatsunoko vs . capcom , both of which have great soundtracks with explosive music that sounds great on the highest volume level . i also have to note that the sound editing in this film is tackled perfectly as well .\nbadass driver : hell yes ! all redline racers would have to be if they want to take on roboworld ' s racetrack while fighting the military forces there .\ncar people : what is the average injection dosage for automotive nitrous systems ? i want to design one that uses whipped cream chargers so i can redline irl .\nthe tagline for redline during its release was ' witness the future of animation ' and it ' s safe to say the studio never doubted the creativity of the team behind the film . madhouse handled the production , with second key animation from gainax - the films full development totaled seven years , with over one hundred thousand hand - made drawings . the amount of action and detail on screen at any one time is so vast the film begs for repeat viewings . the animation - in a word - is mind - blowing . the film is full of colour , detail and beauty like no other , the art style is vigorous and unique , and the character designs are fresh , exuberant and interesting .\n( japan 2009 , 101 mins , dir : takeshi koike ) it is the biggest and most dangerous racing game of the universe and it\u2019s only held once every 5 years . over the top action and luscious colour , it is pure adrenaline from start to finish . whenever you think it can\u2019t get any louder or faster , it will prove you wrong .\nthe long - in - development film , which marks the feature directorial debut of the animatrix and samurai champloo animator takeshi koike , is set in the distant future , where daredevil driver jp risks life and limb for a shot at winning the titular redline , the biggest and deadliest race in the universe . think of it as an intergalactic speed racer .\ni firstly avoided this movie for a long time because its odd animation style threw me off , but after hearing great things about the film , i decided to give it a shot .\nit\u2019s a real pity seeing as the film is brilliantly animated and incredibly stylish . the film had a production history of 7 long years and you can tell when watching it that all that time was well spent in honing the stunning visuals to perfection . it\u2019s no exaggeration that this is a new benchmark in terms of pure animation . the film\u2019s many characters have detailed , instantly distinguishable models and are fluidly animated , machines roar and rush over surfaces with incredible speed and there\u2019s even the occasional use of deformed animation for stylish effect that\u2019s very effective . the visuals in redline are a labor of love and the best part is that it overwhelms the senses in a way that seems difficult ( perhaps impossible ) to replicate in another medium .\nthis is redline\u2019s second excess . there is simply too much going on in the third act . a big race alone would have made for a wonderfully thrilling climax but redline throws in an obligatory mafia subplot as well as the aforementioned evil government . what it all leads to ? stuff getting blown up and more stuff getting blown up .\nbut i feel that the main aspect that makes redline so great is the fluidity of the animation . the quality of the animation in this film is actually insane , with several sequences of high - octane action crafted with some beautiful choreography , nicely placed camera angles and great use of speed . everything moves in such a smooth manner , with no moments of slowdown or inconsistencies whatsoever . the film delivers an experience like no other in the animation department and really conveys on the concept of speed , pushing you to edge of your seat and beyond .\nthink it ' s a good idea to wake up funky boy , an extremely powerful bioweapon , hoping it ' ll help the redline racers in the fight against volton .\ni love redline . i also suggest takeshi koike ' s ( the director ) 4 part series\ntrava : fist planet\n( 2003 ) . it features two minor redline characters , trava and shinkai . trava 1 - 1 trava 1 - 2 trava 2 - 1 trava 2 - 2 trava 3 trava 4 - 1 trava 4 - 2\nthis film is so so incredible in animation , sound design , music , narrative and viewer engagement . it ' s an experience i recommend to absolutely everyone who likes the feeling of . . .\ntakeshi koike ' s debut feature ; seven years in the making . redline is an anime about racing , only presented like nothing seen before . produced by madhouse , with second key animation from gainax , music from james shimoji and a cast and crew pumped with everlasting potential , this is certainly one of - if not the - most adrenaline filled anime film to date .\nso sweet jp doesn\u2019t win the yellowline race , a contest that would qualify him to race in the ultra - deluxe redline race . but he gets invited to race at the redline anyway because this year , the redline is being hosted near roboworld , a planet populated by belligerent androids with funny hairstyles . the fact that this year ' s redline is being held near roboworld is an act of aggression but by who and for what reasons is unclear . nevertheless , two groups of drivers drop out because they don ' t want to die at the hands of pissed - off robots from outer space . so they ' re out and sweet jp , being too stupid to say no , is in .\nbadass boast : done by a few of the racers as you might expect , but machinehead has real grounds for it .\ni ' m the king of redline .\ncool redline stuff on this japanese website , including models of all the cars . really liked the semimaru driven by miki and todoroki , motherfuckers ! gumption ! gumption ! gumption !\ni do respect the art behind redline , but art does not make a good movie all by itself . i feel like we all should have learned that lesson from avatar .\nisn ' t it ? considering it ' s a japanese film . sure the dialog is dubbed for english but making lyrics follow the rhythm as well as make sense isn ' t an easy task .\nthis review will be looking at valuable traits that each anime film should have individually . primarily , we ' ll take a look into the animation , music , storytelling , and characters of the anime .\nnot to be confused with redline ( 2007 ) starring eddie griffin , which is a steaming pile of donkey droppings , unless you ' re 8 and then it ' s incredible .\n( japan 2009 , 72mins , dir : mizuho nishikubo ) this is the \u201canime documentary of swordfighting tactician musashi miyamoto . miyamoto is a legendary swordsman who pioneered the hy\u014dh\u014d niten ichi - ry\u016b style of two - sword fighting and wrote the book of five rings , a book that has been compared to sun tzu\u2019s the art of war for its insight on tactics and strategy . produced by mamoru oshii .\nbut redline is a unique , hallucinatory experience that demands to be seen on a big screen if only so you can feel the thunderous approach of futuristic race cars as they vie for rank . if you only see one movie this holiday season that makes your brains leak out your ears in drips and drabs while you babble incoherently like a baby , make it redline .\nthe neon genesis evangelion - era animation ! the hellsing - esque violence ! memories is the 1995 science fiction anthology creation produced by katsuhiro otomo , whose manga short stories series were the basis of the film .\nah redline , what words can i use to describe this epic adrenaline rush ? to be honest words are not enough , this is one of those films that you have to see to fully comprehend its greatness . however i am going to attempt to pass on my thoughts of this film in this review of what feel is one of the best anime films i have ever seen . period .\nif you only watch twelve minutes of anime this year , watch the first twelve minutes of redline . then once you ' re finished , do yourself a favour and watch the rest .\n: roboworld has one , and they use it twice : the first attempt , targeting the supergrass ship carrying the redline racers , fails thanks to lynchman and johnny - boya sabotaging the cannons .\njp and sonoshee ultimately win the redline race together , and the rest of the racers are quite satisfied with the competition . as an added extra , there ' s a big damn kiss shot .\nserial escalation : redline ( and its lesser qualifying round counterparts : blueline and yellowline ) has always been a no - holds barred combat racing competition that operates on the very fringes of legality , but using a mechanized hellhole like roboworld as the venue is most certainly not normal . two yellowline winners actually bow out because having to deal with the other cutthroat racers and environmental hazards is bad enough without an entire planet ' s army gunning for you . from what little can be seen from the previous three redline competitions in machinehead ' s promo , they were far tamer than the one shown at the climax of the film .\nnarrated by dustin hoffman , visual acoustics celebrates the life and career of julius shulman , the world\u2019s greatest architectural photographer , whose images brought modern architecture to the american mainstream . shulman , who passed away in 2009 , captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including frank lloyd wright , richard neutra , john lautner and frank gehry . his images epitomized the singular beauty of southern california\u2019s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public . this unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic , whip - smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images .\nredline captures the thrill of racing in a way only expert animation can . it\u2019s a fun ride that is worth taking , even if you end up skipping past weaker scenes to watch the race sequences .\nthe soundtrack of redline is done by some japanese named james shimoji . wait a second , james ! ? ! ? what kind of japanese name is that ? let ' s look into this guy :\nthis wouldn\u2019t have been so bad if there was a reason to care or even some sense of urgency but there isn\u2019t . all the cars race at impossible speeds and run just fine even after taking enough damage to wreck 10 spaceships . the result is that tension is basically nonexistent in this film . nobody of note dies and damage to the vehicle is shrugged off so easily that one gets the feeling the only thing at stake is the film\u2019s running time .\nulti\u00admately , because of the dis\u00adreg\u00adard for nar\u00adrat\u00adive , the movie doesn\u2019t hold much weight . hence i don\u2019t think it will make quite the splash some of the early reviews pre\u00addicted it would make . but red\u00adline is such an incred\u00adibly fun film that i find it hard to see how people won\u2019t get sucked in by it\u2019s atmo\u00adsphere and inten\u00adtions , grin\u00adning like a maniac right the way through the film . are you not enter\u00adtained ? is this not why you are here ?\nserious business : the redline race . justified because the betting and advertising make a ton of money , and according to lynchman ' there ' s enough money riding on this race to buy several planets ! '\nugliness is subjective , of course . to veteran film director , screenwriter and illustrator katsuhito ishii ( the taste of tea ) , koike is \u2018simply the best animator alive in japan today , bar none . \u2019 ishii and koike began collaborating a decade ago on the edgy , underground film , party 7 . \u2018i want to work with him every chance i get , \u2019 ishii says . \u2018he\u2019s the only animator who\u2019s able to realize and execute what i want to express . \u2019\nthe cat returns was one of very few studio ghibli films to not be directed by hayao miyazaki . the film succeeded immensely in japan and received good reviews in the us for its believable and relatable portrayal of a character that lacks confidence .\ni saw redline yesterday and since some jaded people in this forum won ' t watch something they don ' t know unless people are making buzz for it , or declare things that they haven ' t seen as bad and / or overhyped based on the fact that people they don ' t know make buzz for it , i thought i should make this thread . also , this film simply deserves its own thread . unfortunately , you can ' t really get it right now because for some odd reason the publishers are really fucking lazy about getting it out , despite it being such a great movie . it was originally finished in 2009 after 6 - 7 years of development . perhaps it doesn ' t have the appeal for the japanese audience since it is rather western . while it is licensed in the u . s . , even the japanese market only recently got a release on boo - ray and still nothing in sight in either the u . s . or europe for that matter . however , the development time that it had really shows . absolutely gorgeous animation . but perhaps i should say what this film is about : racing crazy cars against aliens in even more insane vehicles on absolutely demented planets , which governments want to kill you . that ' s it . not that deep , but the characters are well made and are being fleshed out during the film . the story isn ' t fantastic , but it serves the purpose and you won ' t really notice anyway since the animation alone should leave you speechless throughout the entire film . awo has a review of it , so if you don ' t want to take my word for it , take theirs . j9fhqvmzlc0\nif you ' re addicted to psychological thriller films , your standards are probably pretty high . the 1997 animated film perfect blue from satoshi kon is an old school psychological thriller in a vein similar to neon genesis evangelion and other classic frightening anime films .\nnot to be confused with the 2007 redline staring eddie griffin , this hand - drawn animated sci - fi thriller took seven years and 100 , 000 drawings to create . redline is the full - length feature debut of takeshi koike , known as the director of the \u201cworld record\u201d animatrix segment . it was produced by madhouse inc . studio , which has created some of the best anime ever ( including the work of satoshi kon and mamoru hosoda ) .\nmanga entertainment has provided spinoff online with an exclusive clip from redline , the acclaimed high - octane racing anime from madhouse , the studio behind paprika , the girl who leapt through time , marvel anime and supernatural : the animation .\nwhen it comes to the visual presentation of redline , words fail me . i mean seriously , no words can truly say how beautiful this film really is . japanese animation studio madhouse have crafted one of the most visually stunning animated films in existence , you really have to see it in action to comprehend its awesomeness . firstly there ' s the character design , from the human - based characters to all of the other alien races and cybernetic beings that reside within redline ' s world , the designs are diverse , unique and interesting . secondly you have the vehicles which are also fabulous , coming in many different shapes and sizes , from simple to completely crazy designs , with individual quirks and weapon arsenals to be admired . and lastly there ' s the locations of the film that vary from the rocky crayons where races are done to spaceships floating above planets , all of which have an incredible amount of detail that draws your eyes in especially on a large cinema screen .\njust remember that this film seems to have been made with the express goal of making you feel like you\u2019re high . it\u2019s got serious plot holes . it\u2019s not very clever . but it is novel enough to keep you wondering just what the hell you\u2019re watching .\nnot that everyone will love this film \u2013 it could be that some will be put off by its soundtrack , comprised almost purely of high - octane , scratch - mixed techno . it might not be to everyone ' s taste , but it fits the film ' s visuals beat - perfectly , and it ' s hard to imagine any other style of music doing the job as well . some critics are going to look at the film ' s minimal plot and decry it as \u2018style over content\u2019 , but to do so will be to reveal themselves as not even within driving distance of the point . redline is animation not only at its best , but also largely animation for animation ' s sake \u2013 not a story that had to be made in anime form to due to budgetary restrictions , but a story that could only exist in this medium . it is experimental , challenging and most importantly exhilarating in its artistic style in ways that most works could not even dream of reaching through script writing or thematic devices .\nredline doesn ' t boast much of a high - art story or clever dialogue , but the animation , stylistics and tone are art and visual stimuli at their very best .\n- r . l . shaffer ( ign )\nshed armor gain speed : the crab sonoshee is upgraded with a modular third turbine for the redline race which helps the vehicle go faster , but can also be detached in case it burns out or if it gets caught on something .\nthe garden of words focuses on people who don ' t quite have it together and how awkward the process of maturity can be . the film has a ton of stunning visuals that really paint the poetic beauty of rain and japanese gardens well . it has also been heavily praised for its beautiful animation and artwork , yet reviews of the film ' s plot and climax have been very mixed . even if you can ' t get down with the story , the dazzling artwork makes the garden of words well worth a watch .\ndead leaves deserves a lot more love than it has . the visuals alone are engaging and bright , with elements similar to flcl or jet set radio . the plot is meant to be goofy and weird . anything more would probably compromise how entertaining this film is .\nthere are aspects of the film which stumble and detract from the overall production\u2013specifically the main characters and their relationship . jp is overly cocky and unnecessarily rude to everyone he meets , and his romance with sonoshee never feels believable\u2013for as much screen time is devoted to it .\nhave you ever come across an unknown piece of film or television and absolutely fell in love with it ? anime is no exception . there are some crazy good films out there that few people have ever heard of and unfortunately don ' t get the recognition they deserve .\nslated for theatrical release in japan next april , redline is on a growing list of 21st century japanese - produced anime features\u2019like afro samurai and the omnibus collections the animatrix and batman : gotham knight \u2018that deliberately target western audiences . \u2018we really want non - japanese to see and appreciate this work , \u2019 says takeshi koike , redline \u2018s director and chief animator . \u2018we were thinking of people who don\u2019t normally enjoy anime or know anything about it when we came up with the ideas . \u2019\neames : the architect and the painter is the first film about charles and ray eames since their deaths and the only film to peer inside their collaboration , their marriage and the \u201crenaissance studio\u201d they created in a gritty ware - house in venice , ca . narrated by james franco , the film draws from a trove of archival material , primarily the stunning films and photographs produced in mind - boggling volume by charles , ray , and their staff during the hyper - creative forty years of the eames office . family mem - bers and design historians help guide the story , but it is in interviews with the junior designers swept into the \u201c24 - 7\u201d world of \u201cthe eamery , \u201d that a fascinatingly complex picture of this husband and wife creative team really emerges . slated to screen on pbs\u2019 american masters on dec . 19th .\n: the redline mothership ; with its loli princess at the helm , it just warps wherever the fuck it wants and makes a race track . how to achieve this ? well , first you go to your standard heavily defended fascist state and :\nfinally , onto the characters ! i find only 3 characters in the entire redline movie actually worth talking about . the small amount of trava fans will love the god - amazing cameo of trava and shinkai in both the bar and race though .\nthe action is , as you would imagine ; fast , fantastic and full of adrenaline . the drama is at times cheesy , but it fits well with the films over - the - top attitude . the crazy antics in redline make it clear the film isn ' t to be taken too seriously ; it isn ' t a production that sets out to challenge our minds , but rather an exhilarating thrill - ride that ' s sole purpose is to entertain . in that respect , the story delivers and then some .\ni can ' t remember how i originally came across this film , but i ' m so glad i did . i found the art style so appealing that it influenced my decision to become an animator . plot be damned , this is a beautiful work from an artistic standpoint\nas mentioned before , redline took about 7 freaking years to finish the animation for this story . that ' s more than 100 , 000 differently hand drawn frames all compiled into a little under 2 hours . yeah , it ' s pretty good .\nthis 2001 comedy - drama is another banger from director satoshi kon . the film is somewhat based on the lives of actresses setsuko hara and hideko takamine , who graced the japanese silver screen until their deaths in 2015 and 2010 , respectively . millennium actress is considered a postmodernist piece of art .\nall the redline racers manage to make it through the death trap race . in fact , the only casualties in the whole movie are big deyzuna , the mob boss and his two goons , and a bunch of roboworld mooks that get vaporized by funky boy .\nevery five years , a racing tournament\u2013the redline finals with the blueline and yellowline qualifiers\u2013pits the best racers in the galaxy against each other to determine who is the fastest driver . no rules exist , except to win at all costs , so weapons and cheating abound .\ni ' ve had the bluray of redline sitting on my hard drive for over a week now and i haven ' t gotten around to watching it yet . i need to watch the last part of roberta ' s blood trail first . also : manyuu haikenchou .\nout of the 40 + songs from the redline soundtrack , these are my two favorites . what some people like to do with their reviews is to observe each and every song from a movie soundtrack and if not all songs are eargasm worthy , they all like :\nfirst off , there are too many characters . the main characters are pretty forgettable and the only contestant who was somewhat cool was the established champion . the film further hurts itself by introducing subplots and characters who aren\u2019t related to the race . a sizable chunk of screentime is reserved for a b - story involving an evil government ( basically space - china ) that\u2019s out to stop the race and dig up some ancient weapons or something . ultimately they\u2019re only there to cause tons of explosions and other kinds of destruction . this in a film that\u2019s already filled to the brim with explosions and spectacular set pieces .\ncolorful has themes of suicide , reincarnation , and righting wrongs . makoto\u2019s character may be hard to understand to at times , with his violent mood swings and contempt for pretty much everyone , including his family , but his character development throughout the film is something to see . the ending is exceptional too .\nthe original 1998 version of appleseed received mixed reviews for its plot while the 2004 remake has been generally favored over the original for a more engaging story . however , if you love nostalgic anime and awkward english dubs , you ' ll probably be able to get down with the original film as well .\nvehicular combat : when the yellowline race is riddled with racers firing missiles at each other , you know it fits the trope . taken to the next level in the redline race , where the racers are practically fighting an all - out war against a planetary military superpower .\nholy fucking shit . redline is a movie where you think it can ' t possibly get better and the movie just punches you in the face and yells\nyou haven ' t seen anything yet , pussy !\nand gets infinitely better and 50000000000 % more badass .\nfor a start , redline looks like nothing you ' ve seen before . it ' s easy to see that koike is a huge fan of western graphic art , and has been influenced as much by french comic artist jean \u2018 moebius \u2019 giraud ( possibly best known for his design work on the fifth element ) , the us animated film heavy metal , cult uk sci -

3 : 22 ) . in the future , overcomers will have access to it again ( cf . rev 22 : 14 ) . god is going to provide the overcomers with intimate fellowship with christ in a place called the \u201cparadise of god . \u201d \u201cparadise\u201d is a persian word meaning \u201ca pleasure park , or garden . \u201d the greek old testament uses it to translate the garden of eden in genesis 2 : 8 - 10 . to the oriental mind it meant the sum of blessedness . christ , as the \u201clast adam , \u201d is the restorer of paradise lost ( rev 22 : 1 - 4 , and 14 ) .\nbut i\u2019ll bet you already know this . the circumstances and bizarre carriage of justice that swirled around the \u201cwest memphis three\u201d prisoners became the stuff of outsider outrage when joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky\u2019s first documentary about the murders , \u201c paradise lost : the child murders at robin hood hills , \u201d aired on hbo in 1996 .\nfilmmaker joe berlinger told mtv news that he has uncovered stunning new evidence of the innocence of the\nwest memphis three ,\nwhich will be included in the 90 - minute film .\nparadise lost revisited\nwon ' t turn up on hbo until late this year , but the original is now available on videocassette .\n\u201cparadise lost 3\u201d is perhaps the most interesting and well - made film of the trilogy , not only because of its mixed - blessing epilogue , in which echols , baldwin and misskelley were freed from prison with an alford plea deal last august . agreeing to the plea technically released them , but it left the case unsolved .\n14 the false teachers undoubtedly claimed to be functional apostles ( cf . 2 cor 11 : 13 ) rather than official apostles ( acts 1 : 15 - 26 ) .\nin their riveting \u201cparadise lost 3 : purgatory , \u201d premiering thursday night on hbo , berlinger and sinofsky return to west memphis to finish what has undeniably become a life\u2019s work . another decade has passed . the teens have aged in prison , now approaching their 40s , while appeal after appeal was denied by the judge who oversaw their trial .\nindeed , the case continues to pique interest ; another documentary from a different director , produced by \u201c lord of the rings \u201d director peter jackson , is coming soon , claiming to have details unexplored by \u201cparadise lost . \u201d the case has become a symbol , resonating with anyone who grew up in a small town and liked to wear black clothing or who felt ostracized .\nnevertheless , in the years after its premiere , paradise lost\u2019s story continued to grow , as advocacy groups began looking into the west memphis three case . meanwhile , it won an emmy for outstanding informational programming in 1997 , and it earned nominations for awards at sundance and the independent spirit awards . but something didn\u2019t sit well with the filmmakers \u2013 they thought they should do more .\nmetallica was so moved by the story that they allowed their music to be used in the first film , back in the days before\nmission impossible 2\nand\nold school ,\nwhen they regularly blocked hollywood access to their catalog . the relationship they developed with the filmmakers resulted in the acclaimed\nmetallica : some kind of monster\nfilm .\nmetallica is part and parcel to this story ,\nberlinger said .\nthe band is very proud of their association with the ' paradise lost ' movie , and i would certainly expect that to continue .\nechols was 18 when he was arrested . he is now in his 30s . and , get this \u2014 he\u2019s now married . lorri davis saw paradise lost at moma\u2019s new directors festival in 1996 and was so deeply moved by it , she began writing to echols . eventually , she began talking with him on the phone , and then moved near his prison , to little rock , arkansas .\nit is interesting to note that the first four churches in this list of seven dealt with false teachers ( 2 : 2 , 6 , 9 , 14 - 15 , 20 ) . this is why the pastoral epistles ( 1 - 2 timothy and titus ) challenge pastors to \u201cteach\u201d their congregations . ultimately , each one of us must know the truth so that we can protect our family and friends from unbiblical doctrine . how well do you think our church is doing in this area ? as elders , pastors , small group leaders , and sunday school teachers , are we guarding the flock from false teachers ?\nsatan returns to earth , and enters a serpent . finding eve alone he induces her to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree . adam , resigned to join in her fate , eats also . their innocence is lost and they become aware of their nakedness . in shame and despair , they become hostile to each other . the son of god descends to earth to judge the sinners , mercifully delaying their sentence of death . sin and death , sensing satan ' s success , build a highway to earth , their new home . upon his return to hell , instead of a celebration of victory , satan and his crew are turned into serpents as punishment . adam reconciles with eve . god sends michael to expel the pair from paradise , but first to reveal to adam future events resulting from his sin . adam is saddened by these visions , but ultimately revived by revelations of the future coming of the savior of mankind . in sadness , mitigated with hope , adam and eve are sent away from the garden of paradise .\n3 other views include ( 1 ) human messengers i . e . , pastor / teachers or elders ;

4 : 4 ; 5 : 4 - 5 ) . faith , not faithfulness is the primary focus point in this position . however , in 1 john 2 : 13 and 4 : 4 , john wrote that his readers had overcome the world , not that all christians are overcomers . in 1 john 5 : 4 - 5 , he wrote that only believers in christ can overcome the world , not that every believer in christ does overcome the world . moreover , the letters in revelation 2 and 3 present very different contexts than that of 1 john 5 . in each of the seven usages , there is a conditional aspect attached to overcoming ( esp . 2 : 26 ) .\nafter it aired on hbo in june 1996 , paradise lost became one of the most catalytic documentaries ever produced . it presented the story objectively , showing the trial and reactions from the victims\u2019 family members , allowing viewers to make up their own minds about what happened . and it subsequently inspired a movement among viewers who concluded that the accused \u2013 who went on to become known as the west memphis three \u2013 had , in fact , been wrongly convicted .\nthe film ruminates in many morose ways on the passage of time and the perniciousness of set minds while acknowledging the first two films\u2019 role in bringing attention to the case . had it not been for \u201cparadise lost , \u201d the plight of the west memphis three might never have become a celebrity cause , attracting the moral and financial support of johnny depp and pearl jam\u2019s eddie vedder , among others , as well as the determined work of high - priced defense attorneys and legal experts .\nnearly everything has changed since 1993 . of the murdered boys\u2019 parents and stepparents , one mother has died . a father whose hatred for the accused was so memorably aflame in the first film has completely changed his mind and now publicly proclaims the men\u2019s innocence . the attention from the documentaries and celebrity influence has soured local perceptions of the facts in the case . though it seeks to right a series of wrongs , \u201cparadise lost\u201d remains a fascinating study in the power of media and suggestion .\none thing he won\u2019t be doing anytime soon , though , is making a fourth paradise lost . the west memphis three deserve their privacy now , he says , but he continues to monitor their story . there is only one situation that would bring him back to west memphis . \u201cthe state of arkansas was incredibly cowardly to do an alford plea , \u201d he says . \u201ci would only make another film if i thought it would result in their exoneration . that\u2019s what they deserve . \u201d\n3 . the commendation ( 2 : 2 - 3 ) . jesus is in the business of appraising his church and jesus always commends his church first , if he can . jesus commends the church in ephesus with the words : \u201ci know\u201d ( oida ) . in each message to the seven churches , jesus states , \u201ci know . \u201d 10 since this \u201ci know\u201d statement is present in each of jesus\u2019 messages , we should sense the significance of these words . not only does this statement point to jesus\u2019 omniscience , it also shows us his interest in all that we do and experience . he is the great evaluator and one day he will examine our deeds ( 1 cor 3 : 12 - 15 ; 2 cor 5 : 9 - 10 ) . 11\n6 . the challenge ( 2 : 7b ) . jesus declares , \u201cto him who overcomes , i will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of god . \u201d before we go any further we must determine who is this one who \u201covercomes . \u201d many assume that the overcomer is a reference to all christians . 28 interpreters who hold this view appeal to 1 john 2 : 13 ; 4 : 4 ; and 5 : 4 - 5 where john referred to his readers as overcomers . however , in 1 john 2 : 13 and 4 : 4 , john said his readers had overcome the world , not that all christians are overcomers . in 1 john 5 : 4 - 5 , he wrote that only believers in christ can overcome the world , not that every believer in christ does overcome the world . in this context , it is clear that john is using this term differently . in each of the seven usages , there is a conditional aspect attached to overcoming .\n31 it is probably not just one tree , but a collective term referring to a whole row of trees that exist between the river and the avenue described in rev 22 . this is all a part of the beautiful park or paradise of god .\n2 . the character ( 2 : 1b ) . john records the words of \u201cthe one who holds the seven stars in his right hand . \u201d this phrase is a reference to the sovereign authority and control of jesus christ . 9 jesus holds his angels in his right hand ( i . e . , the place of honor and power ) . this phrase about jesus\u2019 character and the others contained in the seven letters are all taken from john\u2019s vision of the glorified christ ( rev 1 : 12 - 20 ) .\nduring the making of the original paradise lost , mark byers , the father of one of the dead boys , presented the filmmakers with a gift \u2013 a pocket knife speckled with dried blood . berlinger and sinofsky turned the knife over to the authorities as possible evidence in the robin hood hills killings . since then , a shroud of doubt has hung over byers\u2019s head . many believe him to be involved in the murder of the three boys , and suspicions were heightened by the mysterious death of his wife in 1996 .\n3 . to him who overcomes , to him i will give some of the hidden manna , and i will give him a white stone , and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it ( 2 : 17 ) .\n4 . the correction ( 2 : 4 - 5 ) . after praising their strengths , jesus told the ephesians in 2 : 4 , \u201cbut i have this against you . \u201d this is a frightening statement . most of us don\u2019t like when we know someone has something against us . it makes us uncomfortable . it disturbs us . but how would you feel if you knew that jesus christ had something against you ? yikes ! this should prompt us to ask , \u201cjesus , do you have something against me ? have i grieved you ? \u201d\nthree steps to return to your first love ( 2 : 5 ) : \u201ctherefore remember from where you have fallen , and repent and do the deeds you did at first ; or else i am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place\u2014unless you repent . \u201d\nthis particular letter is written \u201cto the angel of the church in ephesus . \u201d the church in ephesus was founded by the apostle paul , 5 the believers were discipled by aquila and priscilla , taught by apollos , 6 pastored by timothy ( 1 tim 1 : 3 ) , and instructed by the apostle paul . either directly or indirectly , ephesus had been the recipient of eight new testament books : the gospel of john , ephesians , 7 1 and 2 timothy , 1 , 2 , and 3 john , and revelation . 8 ephesus was an influential city in the early church .\nthe identity of the \u201covercomer\u201d has troubled bible students throughout church history ( rev 2 : 7 ; 11 , 17 , 26 - 28 ; 3 : 5 , 12 , 21 ) . this has led to four views . view # 1 : the one who fails to overcome loses his / her salvation ( rev 2 : 11 ; 3 : 5 ) . this view must be dismissed because it contradicts the clear teaching of scripture ( e . g . , john 5 : 24 ; 10 : 28 - 29 ; rom 8 : 38 - 39 ; eph 2 : 8 - 9 ) . paul also writes to the believers at thessalonica : \u201cwhether we wake or sleep [ i . e . , whether we are morally alert or spiritually slothful ] , we should live together with him\u201d ( 1 thess 5 : 10 ) . this unconditional promise further solidifies the believer\u2019s security .\nhaving already read the book on this terrible crime i just had to obtain the dvd and i just could not stop watching it ( 5 hours long ) . if you are a true crime fan this is a must see , and if you are a believer in the death penalty it ' s a must see , however i will not go into the detail of the case only to say part 3 of lost paradise is due out in the usa on the 14th august but no release date for the uk yet , i will be one of the first to order it when available .\nrevelations makes no bones about its agenda \u2013 clearly , berlinger and sinofsky believe echols and his associates to be innocent ( or at the very least , the victims of an unfair trial ) . as far as the guilt or innocence of mark byers is concerned , the filmmakers prove more than willing to give him enough rope to hang himself . viewers of the film inclined to give byers the benefit of the doubt will find him sabotaging himself at every turn . whether he committed the murders remains an open question by the documentary\u2019s end , but one thing is for sure : if creepiness was a crime , mark byers would be on death row today .\nafter finding the first one absolutely riviting and cause for thought and discussion , we looked foward to paradise lost 2 with some anticipation . it was too long for the little new information it contained . it spent way too much time on john byers with no payoff . only after reading the urltoken website , we learned that he and his wife had quite a history of crime , drugs and abuse ; this should have been brought much more in the movie instead of his irritable rantings . the end of the movie should have tied up the loose ends better so you could come away with a good understanding of where things stood . i thought the\nsupport group\nlooked more like groupies for echols which was pretty wierd . they weren ' t much more coherent and logical than byers in many ways . i don ' t think the bite marks ruled out the boys at all ; only that they didn ' t bite ! @\nwhile we know next to nothing about their doctrine , we can be more certain of their practices . 24 the key is the practices linked with balaam ( 2 : 14 - 15 ) and jezebel ( 2 : 20 - 23 ) . the two sins found in both are idolatry and immorality . 25 the nicolaitans were a sect of loose - living believers who had perverted and compromised the faith and were bad witnesses to the truth of the gospel . they probably justified themselves with arguments about being \u201csaved by grace\u201d while they flagrantly lived in sin . the church at ephesus took a stand against these men and their teachings and was commended for doing so .\none person who did not feel so effusively about the film was barry scheck , a cofounder of the innocence project , an organization that seeks to overturn wrongful convictions through dna testing and criminal justice system reform . \u201cat the end of one screening , he stood up and said paradise lost was a dangerous film , \u201d berlinger says . \u201che felt that by allowing filmmakers in on the legal process and compromising client - attorney privilege , the film would be very damaging because the footage could be subpoenaed . he and i have since made nice in recent years and have a good relationship . he [ now ] sees the value of the film . \u201d\nin 2 : 3 , jesus again declares , \u201cand you have perseverance and have endured for my names sake , and have not grown weary . \u201d some 40 years had passed since this church was founded . two generations had risen up in the history of this church . all the while ephesus had remained faithful to jesus christ .\nand what of those poor little boys ? ( caution : \u201cparadise lost 3\u201d unflinchingly provides police footage of the crime scene . ) who killed them ? the film turns its attention to claims of dna evidence that links one boy\u2019s stepfather to the crime \u2014 a claim repeated at a rally by dixie chicks singer natalie maines . the stepfather , terry hobbs , sued maines for defamation , which may have been a miscalculation on his part : his videotaped deposition by maines\u2019s attorney opens a door from which a forgotten chill blows in , renewing a viewer\u2019s fascination once more . hobbs , who is interviewed in the film , has denied having any part in the killings .\n\u201ci\u2019ve done 13 or 14 feature documentaries , and no film has generated more intense and emotionally laden q & a\u2019s after screenings as paradise lost , \u201d berlinger says . \u201cwhen it got its screening at new film series at the museum of modern art , a brooklyn architect named lorri davis reluctantly attended at the insistence of her friends . she became so mesmerized that she came up to me after and asked many more questions . then she decided to reach out to damien on death row and they fell in love ; she ended up marrying him . lorri worked tirelessly on his appeal and one of the main reasons echols\u2019 case was not forgotten was because she took up the cause . \u201d\nperhaps the most striking aspect of paradise lost some two decades later is how plainly it presents the story . it opens with the parents of the victims condemning the teens and includes footage of a press conference where the west memphis chief inspector claimed his case against the teens was , on a scale of one to 10 , a solid 11 . one of the mothers says she figured the teens worshipped satan : \u201cjust look at the freaks , \u201d she said . but by the time the accused \u2013 baldwin , echols and jessie miskelley , jr . , the last of whom has an iq of 72 and implicated the others in a confession \u2013 appear onscreen , every aspect of the case against them seems highly questionable .\nstep 1 : remember . jesus says , \u201ctherefore remember from where you have fallen . \u201d the word \u201ctherefore\u201d refers back to a loss of love for the lord jesus ( 2 : 4 ) . they fell from a deep love for the lord . they fell from fellowship with him . they fell from all heart to all head . they lost warm love for the lord . the greek word translated \u201cfallen\u201d 21 means that they were in a state of spiritual decline . this was more than an occasional slip . jesus exhorts the ephesians to \u201cremember\u201d from where they have fallen . this is critical . if we remember the love we initially had for god\u2019s word , prayer , fellowship , and witnessing , we will be inspired to action .\n24 scholars differ on their understanding of this group . some think they were the followers of nicolas according to early church fathers ( cf . acts 6 : 5 ) . since their heresy seems to be associated with the doctrine of balaam in rev 2 : 14 - 15 , some believe this was an antinomian sect that advocated license in matters of christian conduct , including free love .\n4 . he who overcomes , and he who keeps my deeds until the end , to him i will give authority over the nations ; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron , as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces , as i also have received authority from my father ; and i will give him the morning star ( 2 : 26 - 28 ) .\n2 . the warnings and exhortations given to the above churches apply to us today . though each letter is written to a specific church , all seven letters close with the words , \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d it is important to note , the word \u201cchurches\u201d ( ekklesiais ) is plural . john is writing for all who will listen !\nstep 3 : redo . jesus urges the ephesians to \u201cdo the deeds you did at first . \u201d the context indicates that by first works jesus wants this church to get back to their \u201cfirst love\u201d for him , the love they had when they first became christians ( 2 : 4 ) . james 4 : 8 expresses this thought in his epistle when he writes , \u201cdraw near to god and he will draw near to you . \u201d\n1 . the commission ( 2 : 1a ) . \u201cto the angel of the church in ephesus write . \u201d all seven churches are addressed \u201cto the angel of the church in . \u201d the term \u201cangel\u201d 3 refers to one of god\u2019s angelic creatures . some find it strange that angels are the recipients of these seven letters . yet eph 3 : 10 informs us that what is taking place in the church is for the benefit of teaching the angels . 4\nview # 4 : the overcomer refers to faithful believers rewarded for their perseverance . according to this view , the promises of rewards are given to believers to encourage them to overcome trials through faithfulness ( luke 19 : 11 - 26 ; rom 14 : 10 - 12 ; 1 cor 3 : 11 - 15 ; 9 : 27 ; 2 cor 5 : 10 ) . the word translated \u201covercome\u201d ( nikao ) means \u201cto be victorious in a contest or conflict . \u201d hence , \u201covercomers\u201d are conquerors or victors . the context of revelation 2 - 3 restricts the meaning of the overcomer from all believers ( \u201cthem\u201d ) to a faithful believer ( \u201che\u201d ) who overcomes specific conflicts ( see john 16 : 33 ) . the primary weakness with this view is that some of the rewards can be difficult to interpret as something other than salvation . nonetheless , this view is the most convincing and will be presented throughout this series .\nwhat if jesus christ sent you and your church some mail ? would you be excited to read it ? you bet you would ! well , jesus has sent you some mail . in fact , he has written you seven different letters . they are addressed to \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d 2 the first of these seven letters is written to the church in ephesus . let\u2019s read the contents of this letter .\n5 he stayed in ephesus longer than any other city ( acts 20 : 31 ) . paul had evangelized it and used it as a base of operations for at least three years ( acts 18 : 19 - 21 ; 19 ; 1 cor 16 : 8 ) . he was so successful in his ministry there that his ministry turned the city upside down ( acts 19 : 11 - 41 ) . the silversmiths launched a riot because they lost their business of making shrines of artemis .\nstep 2 : repent . the second step to return to your first love is to \u201crepent . \u201d the english word \u201crepent\u201d conveys the idea of sorrow or contrition . the greek word does not carry that idea ; it is more a total change of thought and behavior . it conveys both ideas of attitude and behavior depending on the context . \u201crepent\u201d means to change one\u2019s thinking . it is clearly connected with changed behavior , as seen in the following phrase \u201cand do the deeds you did at first . \u201d\nthe apostle john wrote seven letters to seven historical churches . each dealt with actual conditions of church life in john\u2019s day . yet , while these letters may be historic , they are nonetheless contemporary commentaries on the state of today\u2019s church . any reader of revelation 2 - 3 immediately notices the prophetic similarities between the church of the first century and the church of the 21 st century . this has led some interpreters to suggest that these seven churches are representative of the whole of church history . the following is an example :\nin this context , the one who overcomes by maintaining his first love is able to \u201ceat of the tree of life . \u201d eating with someone implies fellowship ; the one who overcomes , then , will fellowship with his savior . it refers to experiencing the joy of reward in heaven for overcoming in spiritual battles and remaining intimate with christ through it all . the term \u201ctree of life\u201d is mentioned 11 times in three books of the bible . the first time is in genesis 2 : 9 where we are told that god planted in the garden of eden , the tree of life , next to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil . after they sinned by eating from the second tree , adam and eve were banished from the tree of life , lest they live forever in their fallen state . the term is used in a figurative sense in the book of proverbs . 29 but in revelation 22 : 2 , the reference seems to revert to a literal tree , 30 or better , a number of trees , 31 in the new jerusalem , bearing 12 crops of fruit , one each month , bringing healing to the nations .\nit would take more than a decade from the premiere of that film , though , before the three would be released . on august 19th , after numerous appeals , echols , baldwin and miskelley agreed to an alford plea , wherein a defendant asserts his or her innocence while pleading guilty . paradise 3 : purgatory traces the path to this moment , showing how byers had become a supporter of the three , as well as presenting speculation that one of the other stepfathers could have been involved in the murders and alleging jury misconduct . it was nominated for an oscar .\n30 in the book of rev , the tree of life is literal . it is not just a symbol for eternal life or for the person of christ . in rev 21 : 1 - 22 : 5 , john is describing the eternal state , which includes the new heaven and the new earth with the new jerusalem , a literal place with some 25 verses devoted to its description . it is not a symbol . the tree of life in eden and the tree of life in the new jerusalem ( rev 22 : 2 , 14 , 19 ) appear to be literal trees .\nthat\u2019s not good enough for jesus either ! he wants a relationship , not a performance . jesus says , \u201cyou\u2019ve lost that loving feeling . \u201d is this serious ? absolutely : jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love god ( matt 22 : 37 - 39 ) . we must love him with all of our heart , soul , mind , and strength . if we fail to love him , we disobey the greatest commandment . it doesn\u2019t matter what else we obey , if we fail to keep the highest commandment . we have struck out ! leaving our first love is the greatest sin !\nthe ephesians distanced themselves from their first love . they no longer loved the lord jesus as they did when they first came to christ . they not only took their eyes off the lord but they lost fellowship with him . the principle is that regardless of how much of the bible we may know , how much we serve him , or how many past victories we have , we cannot walk with the lord without loving him . it is significant that of all the sins jesus points out in these seven , the first sin he names is the one that grieves him most : a loss of affection for him . our god is a jealous lover .\n28 some argue that the seven letters are written to churches that have a mixture of both christians and non - christians . however , in a biblical sense churches never contain unbelievers . churches are not buildings or social gatherings . churches are assemblies of believers . since the lord was writing to churches , he was writing exclusively to believers . the word faith only occurs twice in these letters ( rev 2 : 13 , 19 ) and in both cases it is affirming the fact that the readers already have faith , not calling them to believe . surely if these seven letters were addressed to unbelievers , we would find repeated calls to trust in christ . instead , we find none .\nin high school , i used to wear pink shirts . don\u2019t ask me why . i just liked pink at that time . i would often say , \u201creal men can wear pink\u201d ( modestly implying that i was a \u201creal man\u201d ) . over the course of time , i changed my mind regarding my pink preference . this led me to no longer purchase pink shirts . in this case , the meaning of \u201crepent\u201d is clear : change your attitude toward your love for christ ( 2 : 4 ) . reverse your lackluster love into a burning love for the lord jesus . think about the depth of love you have for him . change your apathetic love to an appreciating love for him .\ntom roston is a guest columnist for pov ' s documentary blog . he is a former premiere magazine senior editor , who graduated from brown university and started his career in journalism at the nation and then vanity fair . tom ' s freelance work has appeared in the new york times , the guardian , the los angeles times , the hollywood reporter and

godfrey reggio ; 2 . hoop dreams by steve james ; 3 . stories we tell by sarah polley ; 4 . crumb by terry zwigoff ; 5 . montage of heck by brett morgen\nwhat about this church did jesus know ? jesus recognized their \u201cdeeds , toil , and perseverance\u201d ( 2 : 2a ) . these three words build upon one another . the word \u201cdeeds\u201d ( erga ) refers to any action , task , or service . the word \u201ctoil\u201d ( kopos ) is a word that means \u201cto labor to the point of weariness . \u201d in other words , \u201cdeeds done all out\u201d ! this word stresses the depth or degree of their labor for the lord . the final word \u201cperseverance\u201d ( hupomone ) refers to the capacity or ability to endure , to remain under pressure or pain , over the long haul . this word stressed the extent of their labor ( see 1 cor 15 : 58 ) . 12\nsatan gains entrance into the garden of eden , where he finds adam and eve and becomes jealous of them . he overhears them speak of god ' s commandment that they should not eat the forbidden fruit . uriel warns gabriel and his angels , who are guarding the gate of paradise , of satan ' s presence . satan is apprehended by them and banished from eden . god sends raphael to warn adam and eve about satan . raphael recounts to them how jealousy against the son of god led a once favored angel to wage war against god in heaven , and how the son , messiah , cast him and his followers into hell . he relates how the world was created so mankind could one day replace the fallen angels in heaven .\nthe ephesian church was an extremely orthodox church . they were strong in both doctrine and the work of the ministry . in 2 : 2b , jesus says , \u201cyou cannot endure evil men , and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles , and they are not , and you found them to be false . \u201d the church at ephesus refused to compromise their moral or doctrinal purity . 13 apostles may be understood here as almost equivalent to our modern term missionaries . the church had \u201cput to the test\u201d ( cf . 1 john 4 : 1 ) these visiting ministers and their doctrinal claims and had found them to be false . 14 they called a spade a spade . they could smell a heretic a mile off because they knew god\u2019s word .\njesus returns with another word of praise : \u201cyet this you do have , that you hate the deeds of the nicolaitans , which i also hate\u201d ( 2 : 6 ) . though they had left their first love they had not left their former hatred for evil . jesus concludes by telling them to remain in the battle against sin . they are to remain true to the faith and resist false teaching . note how sensitive jesus\u2019 heart is toward his church . he guards against deflating them by concluding with a note of praise . \u201cyou hate the deeds of the nicolaitans , which i also hate . \u201d in essence , jesus is saying , \u201cwe\u2019re on the same team . we are a lot alike . we both hate the deeds of the nicolatians . keep at it ! \u201d\nthe greek word translated \u201cleft\u201d ( aphiemi ) means \u201cto depart , leave alone , forsake , and neglect . \u201d it can also be used of divorce , 18 so the imagery here is very strong . when you lose your car keys , where are they ? when you lose your sun glasses , where are they ? if you think real hard about it , when you lose your car keys or your sunglasses , they\u2019re right where you left them ! and that\u2019s the way it is with your first love for god . if you\u2019ve lost it , guess where it is . it\u2019s wherever you left it . jesus says , go back and find it . wherever it is , it\u2019s still there because god hasn\u2019t moved ! he\u2019s waiting for you to come back .\nokay . mark byers is a wing - nut . so what . documentary # 1 : documents a witch hunt . no question . i ' m totally on board . new trial - let ' s go . documentary # 2 : perpetrates a witch hunt . drips with unintentional irony . that people can be put away for life and lethal injection based on no physical evidence or common sense even is chilling . that a documentary ( and the convicted themselves ) can then come along and blithely point fingers , also with no evidence , is no less chilling . and who are these internet activist people ? do they have jobs or what ? they are as asinine and loopy as byers . the filmmakers should have just left it at film # 1 and been done with it . but the awards and following went to their heads and they decided to crusade . ugh .\n5 . the call ( 2 : 7a ) . jesus says , \u201che who has an ear , let him hear what the spirit says to the churches . \u201d 26 note the change from an appeal to the individual , \u201che who has an ear , \u201d to the plural , \u201cwhat the spirit says to the churches . \u201d this change broadens the appeal of each message to all the churches because the messages are representative and applicable to all of us . here , the spirit of god , who is the spirit of truth and the author and teacher of scripture , is calling on us to evaluate our openness to respond to the things that need to be learned and applied in these messages . in other words , he is saying , \u201cit is not enough to have good intentions . you must follow through ! \u201d to \u201chear what the spirit says\u201d means to really listen and respond to what the spirit says .

it ' s very entertaining ! lorre is great as the arrogant impoverished writer who sees himself as a ' superman ' like his hero napoleon but is ultimately undone by his own conscience . of course no film will entirely live up to a great novel and this is an oversimplified version to be sure ; the odd mix of accents barely acknowledge the russian setting . it ' s a hollywood bastardization of dostoyevsky so be prepared but definitely worth it for lorre fans\nstudent raskolnikow , who has written an article about laws and crime , proposing the thesis , that un - ordinary people can commit crimes if their actions are necessary for the benifit of mankind , murders an old woman , who operates a crooked loaning house , as well as her sister , who made the mistake of visiting her at the wrong time . he is suspected of the crime , but somebody else confesses to the murder .\nesta olvidada a la vez de rara obra de arte del aleman wiene tiene todos los ingredientes para considerarla como una de las mas fuertes muestras del expresionismo filmico aleman . el dramatismo interpretativo del elenco y los alucinantes decorados , heredados directamente de su mas reconocida obra\nel gabinete del dr , caligari\nhacen de este film algo memorable . lamentablemente la copia en dvd carece de nitidez y tristemente esta en muy mal estado . algunas escenas simplemente se pierden en la obscuridad por el deterioro que los a\u00f1os le han causado . a pesar de aquello , y si eres un fanatico el cine silente , esta pelicula es algo que debes admirar .\nthe cabinet of dr caligari is almost unique among silent ' classics ' in that nobody attributes its qualities to its director ; robert wiene has never seemed more than a peripheral figure , and his later attempts to repeat his one - off success never won him any real reputation . he both directed and scripted this adaptation of dostoevsky ' s crime and punishment , and seems to have had grandiose artistic ambitions for the project , drawing his cast from stanislavsky ' s moscow art theatre , and commissioning ' expressionist ' sets from andrei andreiev . the result poses fascinating questions . was the disjunction between the naturalistic acting and the artificial decor deliberate , or simply inept ? and was the ' expressionism ' ( the sets and a scattering of dream sequences ) an attempt to visualise the moral / theological dimension of the novel , or simply a matter of fashion ? there are no ready answers , but the film certainly sustains the questions .\nreferences : bard\u00e8che - history p . 193 ; shipman - cinema p . 80 : filmmuseumnews - 1 .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

belsen during the war . emaciated bodies lay everywhere . more than 10 , 000 were to die from disease and illness following liberation .\ntom hopkinson said that out of all the photographers the writers at picture post asked to work with , bert\u2019s name nearly always came first .\nnot content with his own developer hardy took a soldering iron to another leica and customised the shutter so that it could synchronise with flash at 1000th of a second . bert was no fool . even today\u2019s lecia m7 cannot achieve flash synchronisation at such a high speed without an adaptor .\nin 1938 hardy became one of the first photographers to use a leica 35mm camera . after working as a freelance until being recruited by tom hopkinson , the editor of picture post . hardy became famous for his photographs of the blitz and in 1942 was drafted into an army photographic unit .\nso bert hid his leica beneath an oversized dinner jacket and watched from the pavement as a number of french dignitaries arrived wearing grand plumed hats .\nhardy\u2019s original contact sheets and negatives were meticulously researched to uncover work which was never published in the magazine and which may never have been printed before . the main exhibition reveals the extraordinary versatility expected of picture post photographers . the final section showcases some of hardy\u2019s more familiar images which remain bestsellers today .\nhardy narrowly missed being sent to cover the dieppe raid ( the photographer who did go was killed ) . hardy was with allied troops that took part in the d - day landings in june 1944 . hardy , receiving the pay of an army sergeant , also photographed the liberation of paris on 25th august . he followed the troops into germany and in one picture recorded general miles dempsey crossing the rhine . he also took photographs of concentration camp victims .\nin 1942 hardy was called up into the army and put into public relations for the war office . as the war office supplied stories to all the magazines , hardy ' s ambition was to get a story into both picture post and illustrated each week ; this he managed to do on numerous occasions .\nhardy became famous for his work published in liberal photojournalistic magazine picture post from 1941 until the magazine ' s closer in 1957 . a self - taught photographer , hardy became the post ' s chief photographer quickly , after his first work was published . it was a study of firefighters during the blitz .\nbut bert produced nothing he was happy with in two years and through the work he had started doing for esso magazine and bowaters began making contacts in advertising .\nto my great excitement , we found a remarkable new photographer . bert hardy was a young cockney , the eldest of seven children , who had left school at fourteen . he left on a friday afternoon and started work on saturday morning in a printing and developing works at ten shillings a week with sixpence an hour overtime .\nbert was born on may 19th 1913 , the first of seven children to carpenter albert \u2018seagull\u2019 hardy and blanche , his charlady wife . the family home consisted of two small rooms at the top of priory buildings on webber street just off the blackfriars road , where they slept at night packed like sardines into one double bed .\nwith the light gone , hardy and cameron took an empty landing craft back to the mother ship where bert was informed that their landing had taken place on the wrong beach , one still being softened up by \u2018friendly fire\u2019 . other reports indicate the north korean forces may have already surrendered by the time blue beach was reached .\nhardy went on to shoot two stories which he seemed to enjoy immensely \u2013 hop picking in kent , and the port - wine harvest in portugal \u2013 but his constant travels were putting pressure on his personal life , and although they moved house from eltham to blackheath , bert was no longer getting on with his wife dora .\nborn in 1913 , hardy was the eldest of seven children . the family lived in two rooms \u2013 and one double bed \u2013 in a building near london\u2019s south bank\nhardy was dispatched to newcastle where an air raid had been reported . after scratching around he found a dimly lit brick - lined tunnel , \u201cwhere nervous people sometimes went at night\u201d . using the available light from a few strung - out light bulbs bert took pictures hand - holding his leica at 1 / 4 of a second .\nself taught and using the small leica camera instead of the traditional larger press cameras , hardy was recruited by the editor of picture post , tom hopkinson , in 1941 .\nin the warehouse fire , bert\u2019s suit had been burnt and his camera damaged . tom hopkinson ensured picture post paid the cost of replacing both for the criterion press photographer .\nback in london in the picture post darkroom on shoe lane , bert\u2019s photographs were pasted together to produce a panorama which was published in picture post on april 20th 1957 .\nwhen bert hardy came in to see me he was in his twenties and already an experienced cameraman . to try him out i offered him a difficult assignment . the blitz had started and i asked him to take pictures inside street shelters . no flash must be used and the pictures must make the reader feel he was inside with the shelterers in semi - darkness while bombs were falling . bert passed the test triumphantly ; i at once took him on the staff and he was soon a mainstay of the magazine .\nbert hardy , born in london , worked his way up from a lab assistant to become a photographer . his talent flourished as a staff photographer on picture post , joining the illustrated magazine during the second world war . as well as travelling with the armed forces , his images of the blitz are amongst the finest and closest to the action taken .\nbert hardy always said it was the few years in advertising which enabled him to buy his farm in limpsfield chart and , as the farming activities decreased , he and his wife made it a base from which to explore the new opportunities of lectures , exhibitions and print sales . for many of us , too , it became a place of pilgrimage .\nmoore used a 35mm leica . amazed at the detail in moore\u2019s prints hardy saved up and bought a second - hand model \u2013 probably a leica i \u2013 which he described as old , black and with a fixed 50mm f3 . 5 standard lens . \u201ci never looked back after buying my first leica , \u201d bert was to say in later life .\nbert was invariably the good companion who\u2019s instinctive images unfailingly conveyed an empathy with the poor and underprivileged showing that whatever misfortune was thrust upon them these people retained their human dignity .\nbert knew life would pay three to four times his picture post salary , but he also knew the american giant would publish only one in every four or five stories he shot .\nfor some time bert and sheila had been thinking about buying a cottage in the country . in february 1964 sheila spotted a farm in surrey advertised for sale in the sunday times .\nthen began the period for which bert hardy ' s work is best remembered : liverpool , tiger bay , the girls by the seaside and the gorbals , where his intimate pictures of the inside of houses and close - ups of people contrasted well with the cooler exterior shots of bill brandt . he worked for hours with the writer bert lloyd on that story and much appreciated the teams that tom hopkinson built up of writers and photographers , which avoided the friction that can sometimes happen between the writing and picture - making sides of photo - journalism .\nalthough authenticated reports had been filed \u2013 but never published \u2013 by picture post correspondent stefan schimanski and photographer haywood magee in july 1950 and the times , on wednesday october 25th 1950 , was to confirm the ill - treatment of political prisoners by the south korean police in chilling detail , hopkinson knew the combination of james cameron\u2019s words and bert hardy\u2019s pictures would create controversy .\nbert hardy\u2019s images for \u2018life in the elephant\u2019 exposing the area\u2019s pattern of life are complimented by bert lloyd\u2019s lyrical introduction : \u201dits voice has the rasp of trams , trains , trucks . its eyes have the blaze of street - stalls , eel - stands , pin - table arcades and chestnut cans . its anatomy is decked with sooty bricks , cast iron spikes and the marble pillars of pubs . its heart is that of its people \u2013 kind as a housewife , rough as a worker , busy as a tradesman , wide as a wide - boy . \u201d\nnever inclined to photograph corpses bert realised that he had to record what he was witnessing . he knew no one would believe such things could happen were they not to see photographic proof .\nthe french got nothing exceptional at the opera that night , and bert\u2019s composite panorama made a double page spread . but it was to be his last great picture published in picture post .\none of bert\u2019s earliest advertising shoots was on the strand cigarette campaign for the bensons advertising agency \u2013 a campaign distinguished as one of the least successful flirtations between cigarette advertising and french philosophy .\neven for james cameron and bert hardy who had produced the fateful story , resignation was a luxury neither could afford . to keep them out of trouble the pair were dispatched to the remoteness of the himalayas in a search for the dalai lama , who , following the chinese invasion of tibet , had escaped lhasa and was in hiding in the chumbi valley near the indian border .\nhaving taught himself about apertures and shutter speeds by trial and error , and how to gauge distance by pacing between lamp posts , hardy\u2019s career as a photographer began with a photograph of royalty .\nnevertheless tom hopkinson recalled , \u201cas i turned over hardy\u2019s prints when they first came out of the darkroom , i knew that i had never had a better picture story in my hands . \u201d\nthe british were given two permits . \u201cand the french police were making sure that\u2019s all we had , \u201d said hardy . picture post \u2013 then paris match\u2019s main rival \u2013 received no accreditation .\ntwice a day bert went on a round of west end chemist shops collecting and delivering film and prints , often jumping onto the backs of passing lorries and carts to save on bus fares .\nbert had passed his test triumphantly , and was to become the mainstay of picture post . assignments were to come thick and fast . the world was at war . london was being bombed .\nbert\u2019s older son michael also became a photographer . mike had begun working in the picture post darkrooms , but when the magazine folded he landed the job as paris photographer for the daily express .\nhardy was dispatched to blackpool where the lord mayor presented him with an amateur camera . with this most basic of devices plus the minor adaptations of a close up lens , a yellow filter and an improvised cardboard viewfinder , bert roamed blackpool\u2019s golden mile looking for images . he searched without great success until he hit upon the idea of asking the showgirls from the pier theatre to help out .\n\u2018the ideal picture tells something of the essence of life , \u2019 hardy wrote . \u2018it shows some aspect of humanity the way the person who looks at the picture will at once recognise as startlingly true\u2019\nbert thought he must also have got onto the roof of one of the buildings to take pictures of firemen fighting the blaze from the tops of their ladders , although he couldn\u2019t recall doing so .\ngordon fasier , 1985 . soft cover . condition : very good . soft cover version published by gordon frasier , london , 1985 . this copy is signed and personalized by the author . it reads ,\nduane and lucille , very best wishes , bert hardy 6 / 4 / 85 .\na unique copy of an amazing photographic autobiography . $ 150 . signed by author ( s ) .\nthe same prints kept by hardy , who died in 1995 aged 82 , go on display \u2014 and on sale , from \u00a32 , 500 \u2014 at the photographers\u2019 gallery from may 13 to july 3 .\nwhen hardy viewed his negatives under a green safelight there was nothing to see . another half hour in the super - soup produced the faintest of highlights . frustrated , bert put the films back in the developer and went to visit his mother across blackfriars bridge . he let himself in to her house but as everyone was asleep made himself a cup of tea . he thinks he may have dozed off .\ntwo months after shooting the fire - fighters , bert left bertram collins and criterion to join picture post as a staff photographer on a freelance basis . his guarantee was \u00a38 a week , plus expenses .\nin london there was a bigger wedding to cover . in what bert described as one of england\u2019s periodic fits of royalty fever , the future queen elizabeth was marrying the duke of edinburgh in westminster abbey .\nunsuccessful in their quest for the tibetan spiritual leader ( who was not to flee tibet for another nine years ) , hardy and cameron settled on a story including the life of the monks at the monastery at pedong , situated high on a trans - himalayan trade route between india and tibet ( picture post , february 24th 1951 ) . for a while on the silk road hardy thought seriously about becoming a buddhist .\nduring the 1930s rising wages and falling production costs had turned cycling into a popular sport . bert joined a cycling club and combining his passion for cycling with his photography began submitting photographs to the bicycle magazine .\nwhen bert broke the news to mr duke , his boss at central photographic , duke was so embarrassed at the idea of a man keeping a wife on less than \u00a33 a week that he sacked him .\nthe first assault took place around 6 : 30 am following a heavy bombardment by the us fleet on north korean positions . the section where hardy and cameron were would not see action until high tide that evening .\nfar east command in kandy , ceylon and then to singapore where he was detailed to organise lord louis mounbatten\u2019s press section along fleet street lines . bert streamlined the developing , printing , captioning and world wide syndication .\nhardy was to escape angry mobs in sudan and egypt , cover the mau - mau campaign against british colonialists in kenya , document nationalist unrest against the british in cyprus and photograph yemeni tribesmen fighting british troops in aden .\nalthough bill brandt was first assigned the gorbals shoot , it was bert\u2019s pictures of glasgow which gave the story it\u2019s gritty atmosphere , and went on to win the photo sequence section in the first encyclopaedia britannica photographic awards .\nafter the post closed , hardy worked successfully in advertising , before he retired in 1964 , aged 51 . he bought a small farm in oxted , surrey , and spent the reminder of his life there with wife sheila .\non his return to london hardy took his films to the criterion darkroom and put them in his super - soup to develop . knowing the images were underexposed , he doubled his usual processing time from sixteen to thirty minutes .\nmost of picture post\u2019s employees were sacked . but in a good will gesture nika hulton , sir edward\u2019s russian wife , asked bert to stay on to work for the remaining hulton publications including lilliput , farmers weekly and housewife .\nwhen he heard that a photographer could earn good money on fleet street \u2013 then the heart of the british newspaper industry \u2013 hardy bought a plate camera for 50p from a pawn shop on the cut opposite london\u2019s old vic theatre .\nsuspected opponents of the south\u2019s authoritarian nationalist leader syngman rhee , the captives were political prisoners . bert wondered how a fourteen year old could hold political views . it seemed evident that they were about to be taken off and shot .\nbert was , i am sure , as alarmed as i was , but there was one signal difference in our roles : he had to take the pictures , and it was long ago established that one way you cannot take pictures is lying face - down in a hole . i spent considerable periods of time doing that . bert , on the other hand , was plying his trade upright in the open , cursing the military exigencies that had organized this invasion in the middle of the night . one of my enduring memories of that strange occasion is of bert hardy on the seawall of blue beach , blaspheming among the impossible din , and timing his exposures to the momentary flash of the rockets . that is the difference between the reporter ' s trade and the cameraman ' s . his art can never be emotion recalled in tranquillity . ours can - or could be : the emotion is easy ; the tranquillity more elusive .\nhardy later served as a war photographer in the army film and photographic unit ( afpu ) from 1942 until 1946 , covering the d - day landings in june 1944 , the liberation of paris and the allied advance across the rhine .\nhaving published the inchon landings feature immediately , editor tom hopkinson delayed publication of the story of the ill - treatment of political prisoners until he had confirmed every detail face to face with hardy and cameron in picture post\u2019s shoe lane offices .\nthey drove down to see it , and although the farm needed a lot of work the two londoners bought it and moved in that april . undeterred by their lack of knowledge bert and sheila began learning everything about farming from scratch .\nmost of the exhibited photographs were taken using hardy\u2019s second - hand leica camera , which he adapted to shoot in poor lighting conditions . this is piccadilly circus in central london , a place to meet and escape the postwar gloom in 1953 .\nbert hardy was born in 1913 , the eldest of seven children in a poor working - class family . leaving school at fourteen , he started work as a delivery boy for a film processing laboratory . captivated by photography , he bought a secondhand camera and started on a career that led to his employment as a full - time member of picture post , the foremost magazine of its time . bert became a mainstay and his images are amongst its best known . a selection of his stunning images of britain at war and in the austerity years that followed are reproduced in this first major book on his work . this long overdue tribute marks the centenary of his birth and places him amongst the best of twentieth century photographers .\nwith the dismissal of editor tom hopkinson by owner edward g . hulton in 1950 after the publication of a piece ( illustrated by hardy ) showing south korea\u2019s treatment of political prisoners in the korean war , the magazine went into fairly swift decline .\noriginal prints of the inchon landings . hopkinson wrote , \u201cas i turned over hardy\u2019s prints when they first came out of the darkroom , i knew that i had never had a better picture story in my hands . \u201d photo \u00a9 graham harrison .\njust hours before the british were to make the crossing bert set up his contax on a tripod on the heights at staaland to photograph the river at night . the rhine , crowded with barges and landing craft was lit by an eerie moon .\nas great - grandson of queen victoria , brother to the queen of sweden and supreme allied commander in south east asia , the amiable mountbatten was as aware of his own importance as he was the power of the photograph in promoting it . bert\u2019s\nborn 100 years ago , hardy is probably the best known of all the picture post photographers . his stories cover situations as diverse as the korean war , the portuguese rice harvest , fashion on the french riviera , italian immigrants in britain , and the chinese invasion of tibet . today , his images are still widely used in all contexts from editorial features to interior decor . the images are classic , timeless and transcend territorial and language barriers thanks to hardy\u2019s ability to capture the essence of every story .\nas young boys , les mason and his friend george davis were photographed by hardy as they walked arm in arm in glasgow . gorbals boys was taken in 1948 to highlight poverty in the city . the gorbals was among europe ' s worst slums .\nafter picture post folded in 1957 , mr . hardy turned down an offer to take pictures for life and worked for several years in advertising , often using ordinary people as models . in 1964 he bought a farm in oxted , surrey , and retired .\nbert took to carrying a print of the concentration camp in his pocket which he would show to any german who refused to accept that such things had happened . even then some germans refused to accept that images of the death camps were not allied propaganda .\nthe exhibition focuses on hardy ' s postwar images , when he was assigned to capture the daily lives of his fellow britons . this 1954 photograph , as britain struggled to recover from the deprivations and shortages of global conflict , he provocatively named too many spivs .\nthe air was thick with rockets and shells as the photographers and journalists became the first invaders to make landfall . with the light fading fast , bert put on a tin hat for the first time in his life and poked his head above the sea wall .\n\u201cit had rained that day , and there were a few puddles on the ground . the prisoners were being closely watched by armed guards , but the intense heat must have made them very thirsty . whenever they thought that no one was looking , they would scoop up the rainwater from the ground and drink it . if one of the guards saw them doing this , he immediately set on them and beat them mercilessly with his rifle butt , \u201d wrote bert hardy . \u201cthese guards were in the army of our allies . \u201d\nwhen the fire - fighter story was published , hopkinson ended it with the famous caption , \u201dfrom our rule of anonymity we except these pictures . they were taken by a . hardy , one of our photographers . \u201d ( picture post , february 1st 1941 ) .\nwhen they were midway across german mortar positions got the launch\u2019s range and began peppering the river with fire , sending sheets of water into the air . dempsey\u2019s launch reached the allied side and everyone took cover as hardy took some more images of the general under fire .\nthe only photographs bert could get that evening were on his contax at speeds as low as 1 / 25 of a second at f1 . 4 . the american press working with speed graphics , with a widest aperture of f4 . 5 , got next to nothing .\nin contrast to the squalor hardy often recorded , he was also sent to cover the marriage of princess elizabeth to lt philip mountbatten in 1947 . here bridesmaids adjust the veil and train of the future queen as she arrives at westminster abbey with her father king george vi .\nin newly independent india , bert photographed the country\u2019s first prime minister jawaharlal nehru , in france the gypsy festival of the black virgin at saint maries - de - la mar in the camargue and in poland the wedding of a scottish girl to a polish soldier in warsaw .\nautumn was turning to winter , and the elephant was shrouded in thick smog . all the two bert\u2019s could manage were images of trams and smog , and of smog and trams . that was until they met maisie , a prostitute who\u2019s husband was in prison for robbery .\nat this time he also set up a processing house , grove hardy , with gerry grove , who had worked as a printer for picture post , and which was used by many of the younger generation of fleet street and documentary photographers for both their personal and professional work .\nwhat the grand occasion was may be lost in the mists of time , but king george v and queen mary were in regal procession down the blackfriars road in an open carriage when spotting the young hardy with his camera among the cheering crowds , the monarch turned in acknowledgement .\ngerman bombers had started the blitz of british cities , and hopkinson asked bert to do a shoot on the street shelters . he could not use flash and the pictures must make the reader feel they were in the semi - darkness , with the families as bombs were falling .\non july 1st bert crossed the channel himself and was sent to the strategic city of caen where the germans were putting up fierce resistance . amid being mortared and documenting captured german soldiers and nurses at work on the injured he met george silk of life magazine and robert capa ."]}

urban , i think . kesu is chosen over langda because of his connections t5o the student body , if i remember right . and that sort of a plot point might not make so much sense in a completely rural setting .\nmore recently , there have been movies like ishqiya , peepli live , dabang , well done abba , welcome to sajjanpr etc which had a rural setting . on bharatiraja\u2019s powerful endings , i watched this movie kallukkul eeram ( in which he\u2019s given credit for screenplay & direction supervision ) which too had a dramatic and unexpected twist . ilaiyaraja\u2019s brilliant bgm in the last 10 mins led one to think there was going to be a predictable happy ending only to be jolted with a shocking denouement\nrt @ jrdrd : jurassic park sequel idea : 3 million ad . the humans are extinct . the dino -

chairman , disney media networks and president , disney | abc television group . patrick moran , evp , abc studios , will continue to oversee day - to - day operations . moran had reported to lee but now will report directly to sherwood . that move seems to confirm speculation going back more than a year about sherwood is putting a great deal of emphasis on the tv studio side of the operation . with the increase in popularity of portable devices and streaming services such as netflix , content production is a growth area whereas , in the broadcast network world , executives have joked for some time that flat is the new up . dividing up the responsibility for the network\u2019s entertainment division and abc studios , and having both execs report to directly sherwood gives the studio a seat at the table .\nthere had been rumors about lee possibly leaving abc ever since sherwood was named to replace anne sweeney in spring of 2014 . both are considered strong - willed executives with creative vision and hands - on approach that has led to clashes . at the time , lee re - upped his contract , and went on to preside over one of the most successful broadcast seasons in recent years , as abc last season launched a number of strong series led by htgawm . but that did not quell speculation that lee , who was named to his job in 2010 , did not see eye to eye with sherwood , who\u2019d actually assumed his current post in february of \u201915 when sweeney stepped down , and had been yet to put his stamp on the network until now . lee\u2019s current contract was set to come up before the end of this year . he is expected to sit it out .\nanother subject on which the two execs were said to have differed : sherwood wanted to add to abc\u2019s primetime slate more procedurals with closed - ended episodes conducive to repeat broadcasts . lee , however , favored serialized dramas , using other series to bridge the timeslot during times when those dramas went on hiatus \u2013 or , as some industry wags liked to call it , during \u201cpaul\u2019s european vacation . \u201d\namong the four major broadcast networks , abc is this season to date ranked no . 4 in the key 18 - 49 age bracket , and no . 3 in overall audience , though it is the only one of the big four to lack a presence of nfl football on its primetime schedule ( cbs and nbc both air primetime football broadcasts in the fourth quarter , while fox enjoys routine high - rated sunday nfl over - runs ) .\nlikely contributing to the case for an executive change was the fact that abc is down this season by 14 % in that metric while down 13 % in overall audience and down 15 % in the slightly older 25 - 54 age bracket . the network had a couple of flops , including blood & oil , wicked city and the muppets , though it also had a breakout in quantico and a growing sophomore in fresh off the boat . meanwhile , of abc\u2019s broadcast competitors : cbs , which broadcast this season\u2019s super bowl , is flat in both demos and up 1 % in overall audience . nbc is down 14 % in the younger demo and 9 % in the older and down 8 % in total viewers , though a lot of that decline is owing to its having had last season\u2019s super bowl . fox is flat in the key younger demo , up 4 % among 25 - 54 year olds , and up 5 % in overall audience .\nthe timing of lee\u2019s departure is surprising , given that abc is in the process of producing its pilots for next season . that said , it\u2019s not the first time abc has dismissed an entertainment chief during pilot season in advance of the upfronts . it happened to lloyd braun and susan lyne in 2004 when the two were let go in april , after the pilots had been produced but before series pickup decisions had been made . then , as now , picking an insider to fill the post has made it much less of a jolt for the network , and for producers working on its pilots ( back in \u201904 it was steve mcpherson ) .\nsources said that the process of changing the top entertainment executive at the network started at the beginning of 2015 with a plan to time it in a way so lee\u2019s successor could be very involved in the production of the pilots and the decisions which pilots would go to series .\nlee , a british journalist - turned - tv - producer - turned - executive , had been considered something of a hollywood outsider when named to the abc job though he\u2019d gotten great reviews running abc family , where he spent six years , before sweeney named him to replace mcpherson at the broadcast network , on the eve of the \u201910 summer tca . but , after a few rocky seasons , he led abc to a strong place , with a solid slate of original series , and the hollywood community warmed to lee , who was considered a straight - shooter .\nit is unclear what will be lee\u2019s next move . while at abc , he had been approached for what he had once said would be his dream job , running the bbc .\n\u201cleading abc has been a fantastic experience . i\u2019m especially proud of the incredible team i built and the strategic , creative vision we established and successfully executed for both the network and studio , \u201d lee said in today\u2019s announcement . \u201ctogether , we\u2019ve transformed abc into one of the strongest brands in television , with shows like \u2018scandal , \u2019 \u2018blackish , \u2019 \u2018once upon a time , \u2019 \u2018how to get away with murder , \u2019 \u2018the goldbergs , \u2019 \u2018revenge , \u2019 \u2018s . h . i . e . l . d . , \u2019 \u2018quantico , \u2019 \u2018fresh off the boat , \u2019 and \u2018american crime\u2019 . i wish channing and patrick all the best . \u201d\nand sherwood said of his choice : \u201cchanning is a gifted leader and a proven magnet for top creative talent , with an impressive record of developing compelling , breakthrough programming that resonates with viewers . \u201d he continued , \u201cwe thank paul for his many accomplishments at abc and his devotion to the abc brand , and we wish him continued success in the future . \u201d\nwga west exec director david young got \u201csignificant bonus\u201d to earn $ 1 . 1 million last year\nava duvernay\u2019s \u2018central park five\u2019 casts michael k . williams , vera farmiga & john leguizamo for netflix\u2026\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\nshe is best known for portraying francie calfo and her evil doppelg\u00e4nger allison doren on abc\u2019s alias . while enmeshed in alias , she had recurring roles on two sitcoms , the king of queens and malcolm in the middle , then returned to drama with revenge , hollywood heights and betrayal .\nchanning pursued a career behind the cameras as a story editor and film producer before joining abc\u2019s drama team in 2003 . by 2009 she was overseeing the development and acquisition of dramas . last year the network named her executive vice -

director amit v . masurkar\u2019s sophomore venture is the story of a rookie sarkari afsar determined to conduct a free and fair election in a remote , forested chattisgarh polling station to which he has been assigned as presiding officer . newton kumar ( rajkummar rao ) is a portrait in youthful earnestness . he is inexperienced and innocent enough \u2013 some may say na\u00efve \u2013 to be startled at the opposition to his efforts by those within the establishment .\nwhat you see in this mix are a conscientious soul , a corrupt cynic , a woman doing her job while being resigned to her people\u2019s fate , an old man resigned to the harshness of a reality he does little to change and a satellite group flowing with the tide . it takes all kinds to make the world , it takes just one you , me or newton to be the change we want to see in that world .\nhindi cinema has for long more or less ignored the existence of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in our society , with most films being centred around upper - caste , north indian , hindu men . stories of dalits and women have usually been told by art filmmakers , and that too in weepie form . when dalits have appeared in mainstream ventures , they have usually been supporting players and victims with no agency , uplifted by kind brahmin and kshatriya men . in the matter of caste representation , southern indian cinema \u2013 though far from perfect \u2013 is head and shoulders above the north , with dr biju\u2019s thoughtful malayalam film kaadu pookunna neram just this year taking us deep into tribal territory . marathi cinema too scores high on this front with recent years bringing us the offbeat genius of chaitanya tamhane\u2019s court ( 2015 ) and nagraj manjule\u2019s commercially conventional yet thematically groundbreaking sairat ( 2016 ) .\nmasurkar razes multiple hindi film clich\u00e9s to the ground in newton by resorting to low - key black comedy to tell a tale of adivasis being pulled in different directions by the police and naxalites on election day , by making an adivasi \u2013 that too a woman \u2013 one of the agents of change in the film , and by conceiving newton as a man of indeterminate caste , even if clearly not an adivasi himself .\nnewton \u2019s story has been credited to masurkar , the screenplay and dialogues to him and mayank tewari . together , they have managed to keep their tone light throughout , while never once making light of the unnerving situations before us .\nto be a scene - stealer in an assembly of such immense talent seems impossible , yet somehow pankaj tripathi achieves that . this is an artiste who values our time and makes every second , every flicker of an eyelash count . nowhere is this more in evidence than in the scene in which atma singh is first introduced to newton kumar . by then , the latter\u2019s name has already been a butt of many jokes . atma does not offer a wisecrack , but with an expression so fleeting that you might miss it if you blink an eye at that moment , he wordlessly lets us \u2013 and newton \u2013 know that he has noticed , he is taken aback and amused , but he does not care enough to do anything more . now that he has delivered back to back brilliance in anaarkali of aarah , gurgaon , bareilly ki barfi and newton , it can be safely said that 2017 is turning out to be the year of the tripathi .\ngood camerawork and editing are an inextricable part of every good performance \u2013 this fact is exemplified by a scene in which atma sits primly , wearing a floppy hat , and across a large vacant plot of land , observes newton who stands at the door of the polling station . atma\u2019s posture , evident even in an extreme long shot where his face is a blur , atma\u2019s tininess in newton\u2019s eyes from that distance , and the pace of the cuts going back and forth between them had the combined effect of causing me to giggle , despite the awareness that newton is disheartened at that point . a salaam here and for the flow of the rest of the narrative to cinematographer swapnil s . sonawane and editor shweta venkat mathew .\nmasurkar made his directorial debut with the laugh - so - much - that - you - might - die sulemani keeda in 2014 , which sadly did not get the public attention it deserved . with his second film , it is clear that intelligently used humour is his weapon of choice , irrespective of the battle at hand . it is not often that an indian filmmaker takes to comedy in a setting this dismal \u2013 masurkar and his co - writer do , without being condescending or trivialising the almost depressing circumstances it chronicles in lands far beyond the india most of us are exposed to .\nthere is so much that newton alludes to \u2013 the exploitation of tribals by politicians , the ignorance of \u2018mainstream\u2019 society , the constraints faced by honest government servants , the apathy or corruption that these constraints trigger even in those not naturally inclined to evil , language politics ( i challenge anyone who claims that hindi is the language of north india as a whole , to decipher the smattering of gondi dialogues in the film without the help of a translator ) , the dubious efficacy of all violence ( including violence that claims to have noble goals ) . yet the film is not a phd thesis nor is it all bleak . with his emphasis on the almost darwinian significance of the lone soldier in human civilisation , masurkar snatches optimism from the jaws of pessimism .\nthis is a film designed to give us hope that might even be deemed ridiculously in the face of the challenges before india\u2019s many newtons . one theory is that hope is a compulsion , a choice some of us make to maintain our sanity ; the other is that human history bears witness to the value of being that drop in the ocean . in the words of a song from this film ( music : naren chandavarkar and benedict taylor , lyrics : varun grover ) : \u201c manzil door thhi / dheemi chaal thhi / udti dhool mein / aankhen laal thhi / chalte chalte khud rasta mudh gaya / tujhko dekh ke panchhi udh gaya . \u201d ( the road was long , your pace slow , your eyes reddening with the flying dust . as you walked , the path turned , and at the sight of you , the bird took flight . )\nnewton \u2019s music wafts so gently in and out of the narrative , that you almost do not notice when it is not there . when it is though , it makes its presence felt without rubbing itself in our faces .\nnewton was premiered early this year at the berlin film festival where it won a top award . the cleverness of masurkar\u2019s film is that it is designed to appeal to audiences beyond the already converted and beyond the artistically inclined fest circuit .\nit takes us to a region rarely explored by bollywood , and to a scenario so bizarre that as viewers we are left with just three options : laugh , cry or be furious . option 4 : all the above combined .\nif you do watch this film , i strongly suggest that you stay till the very last credit has rolled off the screen . you do not want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of listening to the closing song kar , in which lyricist irshad kamil writes : \u201c\u2026 paas pados mein kya banta hai / kya hai masala kya hai tel / tune isse kya lena hai ? / raajneeti ki shop hai , mitron / sabhi emotion hote sale / border pe apni sena hai / tu twitter pe chhod missile / subah baitth aur shaam kar / dil bola / dil bola / dil bola apna kaam kar / chal tu apna kaam kar . \u201d ( roughly : why bother with what\u2019s cooking in the neighbour\u2019s house ? in the business of politics , my friend , every emotion is for sale . our army is on the border , but you launch missiles day and night on twitter . still , my heart says , focus on your job . come , play your part . )\nmitron , the world will take care of itself , as long as you do your bit .\nlog in or sign up for facebook to connect with friends , family and people you know .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nearly -

oriented producers of cash crops , white southerners still insisted that their adherence to plantation slavery and racial hierarchy made them morally superior to greedy northerners and their callous , cutthroat commerce . southerners and northerners increasingly saw their ways of life as incompatible .\nthirteen women features the only film appearance of actress peg entwistle . entwistle became despondent over her career and jumped to her death from hollywood sign on september 16 , 1932 . the film premiered in new york on october 15 ( almost exactly a month after her suicide ) , and in los angeles in november .

[ 1 ]\nwhich is also , of course , what also makes them almost irresistable . if you\u2019re going to read a bad book , you don\u2019t want one that\u2019s half - heartedly bad , one whose author betrays any misgivings or sense of aesthetic standards . you want a full , unrepentant wallow\u2013and that\u2019s exactly what you get . in the case of thirteen women , you get adultery\u2013both hetero - and homosexual\u2013suicide , murder , rape , revenge , envy , gossip , corruption , show business , clairvoyance , yoga , blackmail , and chain letters . and i probably left something out of that list .\nas myrna is typecast in this period as exotic vamp - still some way to the\nthin man myrna\n- irene is typecast as being poised , behaved and sensible - the most interesting aspect being that she is totally defined through motherhood in this film . irene\u00b4s screen persona certainly had a maternal streak through the years ; she played 18 times a mother in her 41 films . i can\u00b4t imagine that\nthirteen women\nwas much of an acting challenge for irene - not after\nback street\n- but it\u00b4s surely once again a consolidating of her screen image .\nthis review was posted at under the covers it is sad to see a series that i love come to an end but it ' s also refreshing to see one ending on such a high note . oftentimes series just start falling on the quality and originality of the books but women of the otherworld has always either kept steady or improved . and thirteen is one of the best books in the series ! a truly perfect grand finale . and all i can do is applaud ms . armstrong for a job well done and now go cry in a corner because i won ' t\ndomestic expectations constantly changed and the market revolution transformed many women\u2019s traditional domestic tasks . cloth production , for instance , advanced throughout the market revolution as new mechanized production increased the volume and variety of fabrics available to ordinary people . this relieved many better - off women of a traditional labor obligation . as cloth production became commercialized , women\u2019s home - based cloth production became less important to household economies . purchasing cloth , and later , ready - made clothes , began to transform women from producers to consumers . one woman from maine , martha ballard , regularly referenced spinning , weaving , and knitting in the diary she kept from 1785 to 1812 . 41 martha , her daughters , and female neighbors spun and plied linen and woolen yarns and used them to produce a variety of fabrics to make clothing for her family . the production of cloth and clothing was a year - round , labor - intensive process , but it was for home consumption , not commercial markets .\nmalenda m . edwards to sabrina bennett , 4 apr 1839 , quoted in thomas dublin , ed . , farm to factory women\u2019s letters , 1830 - 1860 ( new york : columbia university press , 1993 ) , 74 .

[ 4 ] [ 5 ] a limited national release came in 1933 . originally running seventy - three minutes , the studio edited fourteen minutes out of the picture prior to release . the film was re - released in 1935 ( post - code ) by rko , hoping to turn a profit by cashing in on the growing popularity of stars dunne and loy . thirteen women has been cited as an early\nfemale ensemble\nfilm .

- perhaps one involving poor whites . much as in salem a half century before , hysteria came to colonial america , and soon new york city ' s jails were filled to overflowing . in the end , despite grave questions about the contours of the suspected conspiracy , thirty - four defendants were executed . thirteen black men burned at the stake and seventeen more hanged . in addition , four alleged white ringleaders - - two men and two women - - made trips to new york city ' s gallows .\nin cities , where women could buy cheap imported cloth to turn into clothing , they became skilled consumers . they stewarded money earned by their husbands by comparing values and haggling over prices . in one typical experience , mrs . peter simon , a captain\u2019s wife , inspected twenty - six yards of holland cloth to ensure it was worth the \u00a3130 price . 42 even wealthy women shopped for high - value goods . while servants or slaves routinely made low - value purchases , the mistress of the household trusted her discriminating eye alone for expensive or specific purchases .\nthis understanding of the young woman kidnapped as a human being with a full , rounded life that both precedes and extends beyond her relationship with her kidnapper reveals a society with a greater awareness of both the extent of violence against women , and its impact . we know now that , for example ,\nand while thirteen is fiction , part of that realness lies in the fact that , unlike a grisly headline , it moves beyond the misery . sensitivity is key but so too is suspense and \u2013 though there\u2019s no kimmy schmidt - style screwball comedy \u2013some humour . \u201cthere\u2019s a lot of hope and humanity , \u201d dickens insists , before adding in a deadpan voice , \u201chopefully people don\u2019t watch it and go , \u2018that was a bit of a downer . \u2019\u201d\nthe idea for the five - part thriller , which airs on the now web - only bbc3 , came from the londoner\u2019s fascination with what happens once survivors are out of the public eye . \u201cthere are so many of those real - life horror stories of people who are taken , and i do think people are traditionally more interested in what happened wherever they were kept , \u201d dickens explains . \u201cbut i just thought : what happens to these women \u2013 and it does tend to be women \u2013 after the press is out of their face ? how do they begin to return to real life ? \u201d\nchaudry travels internationally to documentary forums , festivals and markets ; has been a judge and panelist for the independent filmmaker project , silverdocs , pov , among others ; and is as an advisor on a feature documentary about floating schools and solar power in bangladesh . in addition to her documentary work , chaudry was a senior editor for a national women\u2019s health magazine ; reported for the new york times ; produced a women\u2019s health website for lifetime television ; and performs voiceovers . she holds degrees from columbia college and the columbia graduate school of journalism and is a member of the american federation of television and radio artists .\nher plays include abeyance ( druid debut , druid theatre co ) , pumpgirl ( bush / traverse / manhattan theatre club ) , which won the 2007 susan smith blackburn award , the stewart parker award and was nominated for the irish times best new play , strandline ( fishamble ) which was shortlisted for the susan smith blackburn award and nominated for the meyer whitworth award , and bogwog ( npc ) o\u2019neill centre connecticut . lally the scut was named by fintan o ' toole ( irish times ) as irish play of the year 2015 and poena 5x1 premiered in the underbelly at the edinburgh festival 2016 , receiving fantastic reviews . her short plays include thirteen ( women in power and politics , tricycle theatre ) , shaving the pickle ( 59e59 nyc ) and rubberfoot ( pentabus ) .\nthe war we are living travels to cauca , a mountainous region in colombia\u2019s pacific southwest , where two extraordinary afro - colombian women are braving a violent struggle over their gold - rich lands . they are standing up for a generation of colombians who have been terrorized and forcibly displaced as a deliberate strategy of war .\nwatching thirteen women i wonder what merle oberon must have thought . she lived in real life what myrna loy ' s character was experiencing in the film . it was only after she died that it came out that merle was of mixed racial origin . she successfully passed her entire life . loy who was in fact caucasian until she became the incarnation of the perfect wife and mother played a whole lot of these exotic characters . she borrows a bit from her performance as fu manchu ' s daughter in playing a woman who is exacting terrible revenge on members of a sorority at a finishing school who discovered her background and used it to get her expelled . it was her ticket into the white world and respectability as she saw it . using c . henry gordon as a phony swami she has unpleasant horoscopes made against her thirteen enemies . loy doesn ' t want to just kill them , she wants to torment them and uses gordon as her means . loy wants maximum satisfaction . in the case of irene dunne who she sees as her chief enemy loy also has plans for dunne ' s child as well . a whole lot of women dominate this film as the sisters like kay johnson , jill esmond , florence eldridge and more . ricardo cortez plays the police sergeant who tracks down loy and edward pawley plays another of the men she uses in her fiendish schemes . as this was a before the code film , there was some frank talk about racism under the guise of snobbery . no doubt that dunne and the rest were guilty of it . it drove loy off the deep end and she enacts a terrible vengeance . a really good before the code film that should be better known .\nin the first half of the nineteenth century , families in the northern united states increasingly participated in the cash economy created by the market revolution . the first stirrings of industrialization shifted work away from the home . these changes transformed americans\u2019 notions of what constituted work , and therefore shifted what it meant to be an american woman and an american man . as americans encountered more goods in stores and produced fewer at home , the ability to remove women and children from work determined a family\u2019s class status . this ideal , of course , ignored the reality of women\u2019s work at home and was possible for only the wealthy . the market revolution therefore not only transformed the economy , it changed the nature of the american family . as the market revolution thrust workers into new systems of production , it redefined gender roles . the market integrated families into a new cash economy . as americans purchased more goods in stores and produced fewer at home , the purity of the domestic sphere\u2014the idealized realm of women and children\u2014increasingly signified a family\u2019s class status .\nit\u2019s the most contemporary project that barnard has been involved with in a while , and slightly jarring to see him using an iphone and offering up predictions on the future of tv . he reckons that true crime hits like making a murderer have had an effect on what audiences want from scripted drama . \u201cwe\u2019ve had so many period dramas and all the rest of it . we want to watch real situations happen in the now , \u201d he says , citing thirteen as an example of what he sees as a larger trend .\ni ' ve been a fan of the otherworld series ever since i picked up bitten and fell in love with the hot , complicated and largely dysfunctional romance between clay danvers and elena michaels . over the years , i have liked some stories more than others . some had better narrators , others had a stronger story arc , and yet others appealed more to the romance lover in me . but these last two otherworld books took the series to an entirely different level . thirteen was everything i wanted . . . everything i n\nin thirteen\u2019s opening episode , protagonist ivy moxam ( jodie comer ) begins to answer those questions , as she makes her escape from the bristol basement where she\u2019s been held for 13 years . the world has carried on in the 26 - year - old\u2019s absence : her parents have separated , her younger sister is engaged and her first love tim is married . unable to believe that ivy is alive , her sister even demands that the police carry out a dna test to make sure that the person claiming to be her sister isn\u2019t an imposter .\nnever dwells or reimagines her sexual trauma ; it is dealt early on in the single throwaway line : \u201cyes , there was weird sex stuff in the bunker . \u201d in fact , all these narratives focus not on the immediate experience of victimhood , but ultimately on survival . the singular experience these women share is not that they are kidnapped , but that they escape .\nwar redefined , the capstone of women , war & peace , challenges the conventional wisdom that war and peace are men\u2019s domain through incisive interviews with leading thinkers , secretaries of state and seasoned survivors of war and peace -

screen depiction of transgressive sexual fantasies .\nthe revolution reverberated across the country . more and more farmers grew crops for profit , not self - sufficiency . vast factories and cities arose in the north . enormous fortunes materialized . a new middle class ballooned . and as more men and women worked in the cash economy , they were freed from the bound dependence of servitude . but there were costs to this revolution . as northern textile factories boomed , the demand for southern cotton swelled , and american slavery accelerated . northern subsistence farmers became laborers bound to the whims of markets and bosses . the market revolution sparked explosive economic growth and new personal wealth , but it also created a growing lower class of property - less workers and a series of devastating depressions , called \u201cpanics . \u201d many americans labored for low wages and became trapped in endless cycles of poverty . some workers , often immigrant women , worked thirteen hours a day , six days a week . others labored in slavery . massive northern textile mills turned southern cotton into cheap cloth . and although northern states washed their hands of slavery , their factories fueled the demand for slave - grown southern cotton and their banks provided the financing that ensured the profitability and continued existence of the american slave system . and so , as the economy advanced , the market revolution wrenched the united states in new directions as it became a nation of free labor and slavery , of wealth and inequality , and of endless promise and untold perils .\njust as children were expected to be sheltered from the adult world of work , american culture expected men and women to assume distinct gender roles as they prepared for marriage and family life . an ideology of \u201cseparate spheres\u201d set the public realm\u2014the world of economic production and political life\u2014apart as a male domain , and the world of consumers and domestic life as a female one . ( even non - working women labored by shopping for the household , producing food and clothing , cleaning , educating children , and performing similar activities . but these were considered \u201cdomestic\u201d because they did not bring money into the household , although they too were essential to the household\u2019s economic viability . ) while reality muddied the ideal , the divide between a private , female world of home , and a public , male world of business defined american gender hierarchy .\nf marnie dickens crossed paths with tina fey , she reckons they would have a laugh about their differing approaches to writing about kidnap and survival . \u201ci\u2019d be like , \u2018your show looks more fun to write , \u2019\u201d the emerging screenwriter quips . while dickens has a playful nature that extends from her frequent witticisms to her bright blue nails , her debut drama is essentially the antithesis of unbreakable kimmy schmidt , fey\u2019s offbeat comedy about a twentysomething cult escapee . don\u2019t expect a weepy life - affirmer like lenny abrahamson\u2019s oscar - nominated room , neither ;

( in contrast , mr . mishra\u2019s effort to seek help for his alcoholism is hushed up . ) talk of mrs . mishra\u2019s special powers spreads quickly . in a grotesquely self - serving way , some parents bring their children to be blessed by her before their sats . one woman drags in her son who\u2019s stopped being vegetarian \u2014 he hangs out with hispanic kids and eats chicken mcnuggets \u2014 so he can witness what being indian really means .\n\u201cwhere is ajay ? what was the point of having raised him ? \u201d an elderly woman grumbles to her husband about their adult son in the opening pages of akhil sharma\u2019s semi - autobiographical new novel , \u201cfamily life . \u201d this book , deeply unnerving and gorgeously tender at its core , charts the young life of ajay mishra as he struggles to grow within a family shattered by loss and disoriented by a recent move from india to america . \u201cfamily life\u201d is equally the story of ajay\u2019s parents , whose response to grief renders them unable to find the space in which to cherish and raise him .\nmedicine and science do little for birju . he is blind . he will not walk or talk again . and sharma gives us a potent , unsentimental and at times darkly humorous narrative of how this horrific loss flings the mishra family out of the life they had into an unknown and frightening terrain where little coheres .\nakhilendra mishra is an indian film and television character actor best known for his role as kroor singh in the 1990s doordarshan fantasy television series chandrakanta . his other notable

international dublin literary award for his novel family life . the award is organised and sponsored by dublin city council and at \u20ac100 , 000 is the world\u2019s largest prize for a single novel published in english . uniquely , the award receives its nominations from public libraries in cities around the globe and recognises both writers and translators . the winner was announced at a ceremony in dublin ' s mansion house today .\nsuffering and the struggle to ameliorate suffering are not unknown in fiction but family life pulls off the extraordinary feat of showing them in their correct alignment . closing the book , having known this mix of light and dark , you are left with the sense that while reading you were actually at the core of human experience and what it is to be alive . this is the highest form of achievement in literature . few manage it . this novel does . triumphantly . luminously . movingly . all hail family life by akhil sharma .\nas a reading experience family life desolates and infuriates . it prompts questions too . why should the suffering rich get better care than the suffering rest ? isn ' t all human suffering equal ? however , alongside its subtle interrogation of inequality ( this isn ' t a febrile work of social criticism ) the novel also celebrates the mishra family ' s achievement . for all their imperfections , and they have plenty , ( there are no paragons in this novel ) , somehow they cope and somehow they meet birju\u2019s needs , which is a kind of triumph and , for a reader , it is profoundly consoling that they manage this .\nwhen we first meet the mishras , they are a young , middle - class family living in delhi in the mid - 1970s . india is under emergency rule , a time of gloom and uncertainty , but for 8 - year - old ajay and his older brother , birju , life is playful and secure . their mother lights their world , while their father seems so superfluous that ajay wonders if he\u2019s been assigned to them by the government . mr . mishra decides the family should emigrate to the united states because he craves the \u00adglamour of western science ( so much so that he regularly gets his urine tested in a lab ) .\n\u201cfamily life\u201d is devastating as it reveals how love becomes warped and jagged and even seemingly vanishes in the midst of huge grief . but it also gives us beautiful , heart - stopping scenes where love in the mishra family finds air and ease . there are moments when ajay and his mother set aside their hurt and fear to breathe life into birju ( or \u201cbrother - life , \u201d as ajay refers to him at such times ) . they joke , playfully call him names , respond cheekily on his behalf . ajay snuggles into bed with his vomit - smelling brother and complains about some teenage humiliation at school with an intimacy he doesn\u2019t share with his parents .\nthe narrative of family life is thus : the mishra ' s - mother , father and two sons , birju and his younger brother ajay ( who tells the story and is the novel\u2019s pivot ) emigrate from india to the us in 1978 . for ajay ' s older brother , birju , the new world is initially a triumph until an accident in a swimming pool causes catastrophic brain damage , after which he needs twenty - four care . initially he receives this in medical settings , but then he goes home and is cared for by his parents and his brother . the story of birju ' s care is the kernel of the novel , it ' s living heart .\nthis distinctiveness is evident from the first page , when the narrator , ajay mishra , tells us that his gloomy , ageing father recently reproached him for having been a selfish baby . his father\u2019s evidence ? \u201ci would start to cry as soon as he turned on the tv . i am forty and he is seventy - two . when he said this , i began tickling him . . . \u2018who\u2019s the sad baby ? \u2019 i said . \u2018who\u2019s the baby who cries all the time ? \u2019 \u201d there is a strange dynamic to this family , an unexpected combination of tension and release , blunt accusation and unnerving reaction . these are people living off - kilter , for reasons that soon emerge .\nthe mishras settle in a one - bedroom apartment in queens and begin to forge a new life . ajay stumbles , unable to tell his white schoolmates apart , but birju saunters with a new confidence . when mr . mishra offers his sons 50 cents for every library book they read , ajay wonders if his father has turned too american \u2014 an indian dad would have threatened to beat them for not reading , surely . when his mother dons a pair of jeans for the first time , birju teases her \u2014 fat thighs ! fat thighs ! and soon birju passes the exams for the bronx high school of science . the nervous family opens the school\u2019s acceptance letter at the temple , on their knees before an idol of the hindu god ram .\njust as sharma moved to new york with his parents and elder brother , anup , so the eight - year - old ajay mishra makes the same journey in family life . while ajay finds the transition difficult , his elder brother birju thrives in america , and even wins a place at a prestigious high school . but shortly before term starts birju hits his head on the bottom of a swimming pool and lays unconscious underwater for three minutes , resulting in catastrophic brain damage that leaves him blind and unable to communicate or move . after two years in hospital and nursing homes the family take birju home , and the rest of ajay ' s childhood is played out against a backdrop of 24 - hour care , a stream of crackpot faith healers and a family increasingly defined by alcoholism , destructive tensions and lies .\nakhil sharma\u2019s new novel family life comes out of hard autobiographical experience . sharma , along with his parents and his older brother , migrated from india to the us in the late 1970s . after a promising start for the family , sharma\u2019s older brother dived into a swimming pool and struck the bottom . the accident left him physically and mentally disabled , and radically re - routed the family\u2019s plans in america . years later sharma , already the author of a well - received novel , an obedient father ( 2000 ) , as well as a series of short stories for the new yorker and granta , decided to pursue a novel inspired by his family\u2019s situation . he spent 12 years on it and wrote no less than 7 , 000 pages along the way , consumed by the effort of getting it right . while this back story invests the book with immediate interest , its distinctive achievement in storytelling terms alone makes it one of the year\u2019s literary standouts .\nwhen he gave up his job he had no idea family life would take so long to write , and while he says his editors were supportive , he also had to insist on not publishing until he was ready .\nabout six years in my editor at faber said this wasn ' t a healthy situation and wanted to see a draft . when he read it he said : ' akhil , this is fine . what is your problem with it ? we can put this straight into copyediting . ' and i know if i had read that book as a reader i wouldn ' t have disrespected the writer , but it wasn ' t doing what i wanted it to do . that book was dense with unhappiness , whereas i wanted a book that contained all the unhappiness , but was also full of life . so i carried on . everything i ' ve ever written has won some sort of award . there is no point in doing something that is not going to move the needle .\na novel is a collection of facts that just happen to have been made up . as the reader reads they stream in to the reader ' s imagination and form a virtual equivalent of what was in the writer ' s head . the efficacy of this transaction is in direct ratio to the veracity of the author ' s facts . the better they are , the sharper the world that takes shape in the reader ' s psyche . as readers we know this . mediocre texts generate fuzzy chimeras , while more authoritative narratives so convince we can talk about the characters in the story , for example , just as we talk about our friends because they are as real as our friends . but beyond these is an even higher kind of novel that does more than engage . this kind occupies you so absolutely that while you read and for a while after you finish , the specificities of your own life don ' t exist because they have been supplanted by the specificities of the author ' s invented world . this kind of usurpation is the greatest pleasure a reader can know and family life by akhil sharma is one of those rare novels that does this .\n' it took 12 - and - a - half years and i can ' t believe how bad that time was ,\nsays akhil sharma .\ni was such a different person when i began writing it that i feel as if i ' ve shattered my youth on this book . i still find it hard to believe that it ' s over , and i have this constant fear that i need to go and sit at my computer .\nsharma is talking about his second novel , family life , which is published in the uk next week . it tells the autobiographical story of a family ' s emigration from india to the us in the late 1970s , and how an accident that left the elder son severely brain - damaged brought them close to collapse . the book has already been published to much acclaim in the us \u2013\ndeeply unnerving and gorgeously tender at its core\nsaid the new york times \u2013 matching the praise sharma received when he emerged in the late 90s with prize - winning short stories and then a 2001 debut novel , an obedient father , which won the pen / hemingway award . but the positive response to family life still feels\nalmost as unreal as the book being done ,\nhe says . the intervening period of silence \u2013 although he was named on granta ' s 2007 list of best young american writers \u2013 has not been easy .\nsa re ga ma pa li\u2019l champs season 2 : s . p . balasubrahmanyam to appear as a special guest\nurltoken exclusively reported about abp coming up with a historical fiction show based on post independence india .\nand so on to act in the series and it seems the show continuous with the trend of cashing in great actors .\nthe show which is titled as \u2018idea of india\u2019 will hit the screens sometimes in this month ( june , 2013 ) .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nakul balaji is having a blast in amsterdam ; actor shares a video . . .\nex bigg boss kannada contestant niveditha gowda is missing kiccha sudeep ; see the post . . .\nex -

year - old ajay , about to leave his known world for a very different one . writing from a young boy\u2019s perspective allows sharma to explore the sentimentality and melodrama surrounding this departure , without ever succumbing to the saccharine . and so with great ceremony and gravity and then regret , ajay awards his toys to the poor neighbourhood boys queueing for the day\u2019s milk delivery , and soon thereafter leaves for a new life .\nin turn , sharma conjures the seeming marvels of america for the new arrivals \u2013 ajay\u2019s father proudly introduces them to carpeted flooring and hot water on demand while ajay directly discovers the just - as - remarkable delights of snowfall , 1980s television and lobby doors that open automatically . meanwhile , true to indo - american form , ajay\u2019s parents pressure his bright and assured older brother birju to study and study and study . he gets into a prestigious high school , only then to suffer the catastrophic swimming pool injury .\n\u201ci was irritated , \u201d ajay tells us , right after his brother\u2019s accident . \u201cbirju had gotten into the bronx high school of science , and now he was going to get to be in a hospital . i was certain our mother would feel bad for him and give him a gift . \u201d once more , sharma reveals more than his narrator intends by working within the limited circumference of a young person\u2019s view of what is happening around him .\nas the seriousness of birju\u2019s situation becomes clearer , and then all -

styled indian healers to practise their arts on her infirm son ( in vain ) , ajay begins talking to a tree he passes on his way to school . he imagines that the tree is god and that the two of them can negotiate better terms for birju or for ajay , but not for both . the better ajay does in his teenage life \u2013 good grades , a girlfriend who actually wants to kiss him back , a body that works \u2013 the more guilt , and frustration about this guilt , he feels . eventually , he turns to his father for solace . \u201cafter a moment i said , \u2018daddy , i am so sad . \u2019 \u2018you\u2019re sad ? \u2019 my father said angrily , \u2018i want to hang myself every day . \u2019 \u201d\nwhile his resilient mother eventually becomes a figure of spiritual power and authority in their middle -

year - old ajay first learns of the accident , unaware of its gravity , he casually speculates that if birju were dead , \u201ci would get to be the only son . \u201d\nyears pass and birju\u2019s condition remains unchanged . he lies in a bed at home , moaning and puffing spit . ajay prays for countless hours with his parents for his brother\u2019s revival , and feels guilty as he sneaks in a prayer to do well on his math test . his father becomes alcoholic . his mother is consumed by her efforts to \u201cwake\u201d birju . his parents fight , viciously . and in their grief they turn their gaze away from ajay and his need for nurture . they cannot rouse themselves to see how 13 years old he is , how 14 , how 15 . one cheerless christmas day , ajay erupts , sobbing to his parents that he too deserves something , for enduring \u2014 at least some pizza . \u201ci am so sad , \u201d ajay confides to his father one evening . \u201cyou\u2019re sad ? \u201d his father responds ; \u201ci want to hang myself every day . \u201d\n\u201cfamily life\u201d chronicles ajay\u2019s passage through this wreckage . he gets top grades at school . at home he bathes his brother , \u201ccleaning his ass with a bar of soap . \u201d he begins to understand that the difference between his life and his brother\u2019s is permanent . he talks to god ( who looks more like superman than krishna ) about his distress at being the sole recipient of his family\u2019s luck . during a fight with his mother , ajay provokingly strips off his clothes , recalling how , in india , eunuchs did this when begging , to panic onlookers into throwing them money . his mother snaps : \u201cif birju were all right , i would tell you . . . go with your stupid grades and die . \u201d\nsharma ' s second novel , family life , took more than 12 years to write . telling the story of a family wrought by tragedy , it mirrors his own harrowing story\ni remember gary shteyngart saying to me that there was a sense that i was going to be the one , but then i just vanished . i was basically forgotten and would apply for all these jobs or small fellowships and nobody knew who i was . i know careers are based on books , not on getting attention all the time , but to get some attention is also nice .\nbut while the broad facts of that story match those of sharma and his brother anup ' s own lives , finding a way to most effectively tell it proved almost insuperable . from the beginning he was aware that it was\na coming - of - age story , an illness story and the story of a child ' s love for his parents and his brother\n. it is also an immigrant story . and although sharma objects to an\noften racist category that places white people in a separate category from brown and black people , family life is definitely an immigrant novel , and one of its subjects is the indian community in america of which i am tremendously grateful to be a part ,\nhe says .\nbut while it is a very loving community , if you are perceived as being shameful then you are rejected almost immediately . that is seen with alcoholism and other addictions , but also mental illness . my mother would always say my brother was in a coma , a more acceptable phrase than brain - damaged . i think these are things we should acknowledge and deal with as a community and was an aspect i felt was worth representing .\nalthough sharma admits his novel could belong in several literary traditions ,\ni don ' t think it belongs in any one tradition . and it is also technically interesting because it is without much of a plot . something occurs , and then the weight of that causes a bunch of other things . but each thing is not pushing into the next thing , so i read a lot of really great books in trying to find a way to tell my story , a life story , in a way that would hold people ' s interest .\nhe read vs naipaul ' s a house for mr biswas (\na book that gives the ending away\n) ; and proust (\nto my mind the great work of the 20th century , more so than even ulysses\n) to find solutions for his book about remembrance . he also looked at non - fiction memoir ,\nbut none of these allowed for the experience i wanted to generate .\nhis breakthrough was a technical one when he decided to eliminate elements of what he calls\nthe sensorium\nresulting in minimal description of sound , smell , or feel in the novel , elements that sharma says act in a\nsticky\nway on the reader .\nand that ' s why other writers like those elements , that stickiness can be useful in arresting the reader , but in a story not reliant on plot i wanted to remove any sources of friction so as to provide the narrative with more velocity . in technical terms it is the thing i am most proud of .\nwhat has been his parents ' response to a book in which few of the characters come out well ?\nthey haven ' t read it , and i think i would prefer it if they didn ' t . i don ' t see the point of them revisiting these things . we all behaved badly . if i get on a plane i become uncomfortable and irritable . imagine the pressure of spending years of having no money and taking care of someone . you behave badly . you get angry for all sorts of reasons . you become self - destructive . when i asked my father if he wanted to read it he said : ' why ? i was there . ' and he was . we all were .\nof india , and delhi his birthplace , sharma says :\ni used to go back so often , sometimes for three months in the summer , it felt like i never really left . and my family never really became integrated into america because of our crisis . when you are under that sort of enormous strain you are pushed back to your roots , and my parents were pushed back into this world of faith healers and religion , so in a lot of ways i didn ' t feel like i really entered america until i went to college .\nliving in new jersey , he grew up in an openly racist environment\nwith people cursing at us in the street , and being spat at at school . when i entered college , although i didn ' t experience racism , i still didn ' t feel comfortable and wanted to view myself as separate and different . it took quite a long time for me to realise that it was ok , and i didn ' t have to always be on guard .\nafter having virtually no access to books in india , on arriving in america sharma had become a prodigious reader .\ni felt alone and frightened and reading was a little like drinking , you could vanish into it . i also watched lots of tv . it was more artificial , but it was also more manageable than real life , and unsurprisingly as a writer i have always liked , and also felt safe , in a constructed reality .\nwhen he was about 15 sharma started to write short stories \u2013\nplagiarised things from science fiction magazines that i ' d present as my own just to receive attention\n\u2013 and he later obsessively studied a biography of ernest hemingway ,\nwithout reading actual hemingway , but i thought , ' this is how it ' s done . ' i learned very quickly and quite soon was writing decently .\nby the time he won a place at princeton \u2013 he later went on to stanford and harvard law school \u2013 his academic career combined business courses with high - profile writing programmes , although he says at the time he didn ' t properly appreciate the eminence of his teachers .\nbut paul auster then was not paul auster as he is now . even toni morrison was not toni morrison in the way she is now . joyce carol oates was probably the most famous back then .\nhis early ambition was straightforwardly to make money .\ni was writing , but it struck me as foolish to do something that i knew was so unlucrative . i admired and respected writers , but in the same way as i admired and respected social workers . it was not something i wanted to do myself .\nsharma went into investment banking and managed to combine the long hours with producing his early stories and his first novel :\nfrom my childhood i learned that i could eat pain .\nan obedient father , begun when he was 19 , was about a corrupt and sexually abusive civil servant , and was set in india as at that time it was a world he knew better than america . for a while after its successful publication\nmoneymaking and writing lived together just fine , but then it just became too horrible being a banker , and i was happy to get out of there .\na 2001 interview casually mentions his\nnice mid - six - figure\nsalary , but\nas you get older you value different things ,\nhe says .\nrecently a former colleague offered me a job paying more than i used to earn , but you only get one life and we\n\u2013 he is married to a lawyer he met shortly before going to harvard \u2013\nhave enough for what we need ."]}

( rather unfortunately , several reports of the film ' s first screening , previously online at the hong kong standard , have disappeared from the web . ) xie jin ' s own words on the film and its construction are particularly noteworthy .\nthough\npatriotic ,\nthe opium war , is not the propaganda piece some expected . indeed , lead actor pao guoan saw his character , lin zexu , more as anti - drug campaigner than nationalist hero .\nlin wanted to have trade with the west . what he opposed was britain bringing opium into china ,\nhe says . critics remarked on the film ' s perceptive portrait of a corrupt bureaucracy - - something that strikes a chord in present - day china . and that might just be the key to the official slight .\nuk line - producer peng wenlan , also chairperson of the meridian society , will introduce and discuss this film .\nmahoney says the county now has a full time film commissioner whose sole responsibility is to create this industry locally .\nin the end , perhaps it doesn ' t matter whether the film is judged to be propaganda or not . british behavior toward china in the last century was hardly exemplary . and even if the making of ' ' the opium war ' ' were a paragon of objectivity , the act of making and promoting it during the season of hong kong ' s return to chinese sovereignty panders to the nationalistic instinct rising in china . it encourages xenophobia and a dark sense of national grievance .\nthe opium war ,\nnow at the k - b janus , turns out to be a relic as well as curiosity . evidently the first communist chinese dramatic feature to receive regular art - house distribution in this country , the film was made in 1959 and the withdrawn upon the advent of the cultural revolution , possibly in line with a systematic suppression of productions that predated mao ' s new social scheme and possibly because the lead , chao tan , was out of favor with chian ching .\ninstead , the beijing premiere of the opium war was a curiously subdued affair . true , the severe limit on media passes prompted a scramble among journalists and television crews . but in the end , the evening turned out to be a sideshow rather than a gala . though held in the great hall of the people , the screening was shoehorned into a meeting room . instead of guests in their thousands , it was attended by several hundred people , including schoolchildren in the opium war t - shirts . and the only real vip in attendance was foreign minister qian qichen . if the project had received jiang ' s initial backing , signs were that the result disappointed the chinese leadership . though the film had plenty of pre - launch publicity , the premiere received little coverage in the mainland press . this muted response was in stark contrast to the media attention lavished on the opening of red river valley , a staunchly nationalistic movie about tibetan resistance to british colonialists in the 1800s .\ntwo downed u . s . soldiers in rural afghanistan happen upon an opium - producing family living under a soviet tank in \u201copium war , \u201d siddiq barmak\u2019s baffling second feature . as in \u201cosama , \u201d the afghan writer - helmer again uses a non - pro cast , but the result is stifled by poorly written english dialogue and a failure to reconcile apparent realism with occasional [ \u2026 ]\n' ' film has always been a propaganda tool in china under the system where the ministry of propaganda controls everything , ' ' says ye daying , director of ' ' red cherry , ' ' the most popular film produced in china this year , about chinese living in moscow during world war ii .

' '\nto almost everyone ' s surprise , china ' s first blockbuster is a fascinating , multi - faceted journey back to the 19th - century . the opium war , which eventually led to the ceding of hong kong , was an infamous moment in british history . britain ' s war effort was aimed at compelling china to free restrictions on foreign trade - - especially opium imports from colonial india . xie ' s account could have been a simplistic indictment of western imperialism . instead , it is a compelling and sometimes comic chronicle of what was a monumental conflict .\nit ' s impossible to account for the suppression on the mere basis of the movie itself : a pious , stilted patriotic costume drama extolling the character of lin tse hsu , an imperial minister endeavoring to stop the opium trade introduced in canton by british merchants during the 1830s . the film expresses unimpeachably nationalistic sentiments . the only tangible sources plistic , outmoded exposition and poderous pictorial stlye - in short , the pervasive klutziness of it all .\na british foreign trade rep , charles elliot ( british theater actor simon williams ) , arrives to broker a solution that involves the opium being ditched in the sea in a public ceremony and the u . k . government guaranteeing the traders\u2019 money back . as elliot expected , this does not please the politicos back in london , who in 1840 dispatch massive firepower to attack china\u2019s ports , launching the titular war .\nin the 1842 treaty of nanking , the first treaty in the modern history of china , london gained hong kong island as a reparation from the qing court , desperate to stave off escalation of the military conflict then underway . ( the image to the left is a fragment of that treaty . ) one particularly important document which led to the opium war ( and , ultimately , this conference and site ) was drafted over 150 years ago : commissioner lin ' s letter of advice to queen victoria , decrying the evils of britain ' s opium trade with china , and demanding its termination . click here to read that letter .\nafter three years in which it has struggled to define its place on the international calendar , the rome international film festival has charged gian luigi rondi and piera detassis with upgrading the event .\nthe next morning , the popular chinese - language apple daily declared the opium war\na serious production filled with epic and astounding scenes . . . every character was formed by an idea and a motivation .\nin short : thumbs up . the film is filled with dazzling images . there are beautifully recreated 19th - century british warships braving the south china sea and thousands of hard - laboring chinese coolies , queues trailing down sweaty backs . possibly most spectacular is xie ' s recreation of the canton ( now guangzhou ) waterfront . the streets bustle with snake charmers , musicians , dolled - up prostitutes , british merchants and sikh soldiers in white turbans . then there are the languidly evocative opium dens , glowing under lantern light .\nall post - production was done in japan . print caught was rushed to unspool at the cannes market ; a six - track dolby dub is apparently in the works for the film\u2019s release .\nthe film bureau is where the dirty work of censorship is done . the bureau ' s power is all - encompassing , and no director can get through post - production or compete in international film festivals without its approval . but it is rare for a film simply to be shut down . the usual torture is when ' ' they don ' t pass any movie and they don ' t kill any movie , ' ' mr . wang said .\nwho can blame him ? in many ways , the opium war is the crowning achievement of his 54 - year filmmaking career . now xie is pushing for its release in 350 cinemas across china and in 61 countries . and , judging from the response of hong kong audiences and critics , the film should do well . take the charity premiere . three hours of a late - night screening can be exhausting , but most of the audience stayed the course . when they did duck out , it was only for a quick trip to the washroom .\ni didn ' t want to miss any of the action ,\nsays one chinese viewer .\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\nnow mr . xie , never a darling of the international film set nor a mentor to china ' s film prodigies who followed him , sits in the catbird seat with a $ 10 million epic while many of the most innovative directors are out of work , going abroad or hardly working under the heel of the most tenacious censorship campaign imposed in this decade . even the walt disney company , which has grand expansion plans for china , has run afoul of official views on politics and entertainment because of a subsidiary ' s links to a martin scorsese film on the dalai lama .\nshe says the central new york hub for emerging nano industries , being built right now in the collamer crossings business park , will help attract filmmakers because of the huge film post - production unit it will house .\nmr . jiang , and many other directors , believe that the crackdown on the film industry will last perhaps into the fall of 1997 , when the communist party will hold its 15th party congress . after that , and after the position of china ' s new generation of leaders is more secure , they may loosen up . until then , he said , chinese film makers will bend under the invisible gale of party pressure .\nthe caption says , ' ' xie ' s proposal was encouraged and supported by jiang zemin and ding guangen , minister of propaganda , and president jiang has shown his personal care to the production of the film .

' ' if you don ' t want to compromise , you don ' t make a film , ' ' he explained . ' ' if you want to make a film , the question is how . i try as much as possible to do what i want , and that is why for one year my latest film could not be shown in china ; only after one year and many revisions did it get shown . ' '\nhe and most of his colleagues in the british troupe involved in the film say they are resigned to the fact that they are participating in a project that has a strong propaganda component . ' ' at this point , there is nothing i can do about that , ' ' mr . peck said . ' ' the history is pretty damning , and there are not too many heroes in this film . ' '\ncome over a rise on the dusty dirt road west of this small industrial town near hangzhou , and the scene of the crime suddenly appears : an antique city reflected in a dark lake , built to replicate the waterfront of mid - 19th - century canton , where opium dens and teahouses were the languorous backdrop of a coarser era .\nafter 150 years of british rule , hong kong reverts to chinese sovereignty at midnight on june 30 , 1997 . and on july 1 , mr . xie ' s ' ' opium war ' ' will make its world debut as an unsubtle piece of chinese propaganda dedicated , as his shooting script states , ' ' to a great moment in history , ' ' the return of the emerald city that hong kong has become .\nthat was not a doubt one had about \u201cosama , \u201d where barmak stretched the story of a little girl disguised as a boy without losing believability or emotional touch with his characters . here there is no emotional contact of any kind , just a succession of shameless stereotypes and weird situations . film\u2019s ultimate message may be anything from war is hell to afghanistan is unconquerable .\nwhen two american soldiers find themselves stranded in afghanistan after a helicopter crash , they encounter a local family that lives in the shell of a soviet tank and grows opium to survive . the soldiers now find their lives in the hands of this bickering cast of family members .\nrome ' s audience prize is voted on by regular cinemagoers via a newly installed electronic voting procedure . the system was created by the company is s . p . a . in conjunction with rome ' s cinema foundation . the festival said 64 % of film goers participated in the voting .\nmr . ding , a rising star under president jiang zemin , told studio managers and directors to start making more patriotic films of high quality . directors who tried to avoid censorship or to export their film without permission would be fined as much as 10 times their investment in the film . this amounted to a threat to financially ruin any director who did not put himself in thrall to the propaganda apparatus of the party .\ncostume drama about the war between uk and china that led to britain ' s acquisition of hong kong 157 years ago . supposedly the most expensive movie production in the history of chinese cinema this is a well produced historic drama , if not a bit biased - naturally . not really that suspenseful , but watchable .\nin the brochure that he prepared for potential chinese investors in his film , a large photo shows him standing with president jiang , his longtime friend and patron from shanghai , his hometown . the two are flanked by mr . ding , the propaganda chief , and zeng qinghong , director of the general office of the communist party central committee .\nduring his 2010 vist , cameron wore a poppy in his lapel despite china ' s request he remove it because officials said it reminded them of the opium wars . photograph : frederic j . brown / afp / getty images\nthis moment also places mr . xie in the vanguard of artists willing to stoke the flames of nationalism in the service of the communist party as china reassembles the territories lost in the last century and goes , not so gently , into the new era that will follow the death of deng xiaoping .\nxie wanted to tell\nthe whole story of the opium war ,\nfrom the empress dowager to the common people . he does an impressive job , weaving in a range of reasonably well - conceived characters . there ' s a patriotic prostitute , a qing - era suzie wong , who tries to stab a british client with a pair of scissors . perhaps most moving are the chinese commanders and manchu advisers , fiercely fighting to maintain their country ' s dignity .\nif hong kong is granted to foreigners , i will kill myself before you ,\na geriatric mandarin wails to the emperor . the british characters , however , are mostly caricatures . stereotypically callous , the naval officers are nonchalant as their cannons pound out death and destruction in the ports .\nin one scene that had the audience chuckling , lin gathers the venal chinese bureaucrats in a room and announces :\nwe are all here to meditate for six hours straight .\nlin ' s intention is to weed out the addicts and send them to the gallows . for the first hour , the officials coolly sip their tea and feign meditation . but as a cuckoo clock marks the passing hours , one by one , the officials collapse , shaking and begging for mercy , unable to continue without their sustaining puffs on the opium pipe .\nrome -

catching visuals that recall samira makhmalbaf\u2019s work , this surreal tale of two american soldiers stuck in the desert with a family of impoverished afghan nomads is pointless and more than a little offensive . it is so alarmingly off -

century china\u2019s development , given h . k . \u2019s subsequent success \u2014 and in that respect the movie arrives with official fingerprints all over it . the surprise is that it\u2019s not simply a slice of xenophobia , and is comparatively even - handed in its treatment of both sides .\nsome directors report that state - controlled film studios were hit last spring with a wave of personnel changes . more ideological managers replaced those deemed lacking in socialist enthusiasm . at the same time , censors simply stopped approving scripts and started holding up films already in the censorship pipeline .\nzhang yimou , a fifth generation film maker whose ' ' raise the red lantern ' ' has been accused of pandering to western tastes , said , ' ' the changsha conference made it clear that there would have to be a number of patriotic films made every year . ' '\n' ' they just killed my film , ' ' he said , shaking his head , in a conversation over coffee at a west beijing hotel . ' ' this is the first time that a movie is killed in the process of making it . my investors are crying . ' '\nthe film was shot in the hengdian world studios in zhejiang province , a common filming site for historical films which has been dubbed\nchinawood .\nin order to recreate the streets of 19th - century guangzhou , nearly 120 construction teams from surrounding villages were assembled . in contrast , nearly all post - production took place in japan .\nat 73 , xie jin ( pronounced syee - eh jeen ) is almost unknown in the west ; he made his name largely inside china , playing to domestic audiences with sentimental films about the suffering of the common man , though he was always scrupulous not to blame the communist party or any of its leaders . mr . xie never pushed the limits of his craft like the younger , so - called fifth generation directors , who emerged from film school as china was emerging from the chaos of the cultural revolution and mao zedong ' s last decade in power .\n' ' i think the movie is just and objective , ' ' mr . xie said at the end of a day of shooting , before he uncorked a bottle of fiery white liquor for his late - night meeting to plan the next day ' s shooting . ' ' this was the biggest drug trade in world history and some british people say it is a shame that they sold opium to china . ' '\nwhat\nlins tse - hsu\nconspicuously lacks is adequate dramatization of this intriguing outline . in part the filmmakers seem inhibited by deliberate chauvinistic obfuscation . the british are depicted as leering , cringing villains , and their forces are last seen beating a hasty retreat from the rocks and spears of lin ' s stalwart militia . in fact , lin ' s mission was a temporary triumph at best . the british imposed their will during this period of history and one of the things imperial china lost as a conswquence of the wars provoked by the opium trade was hong kong .\nwith captions bridging the gaps , the team of four scripters have distilled events into a workable format that can be followed easily by first - timers . starting in 1838 , the story spins round a viceroy , lin zexu ( bao guoan ) , who\u2019s dispatched to guangzhou ( canton ) by the qing court to put an end to british traders\u2019 mass selling of opium , which is enfeebling the population . chief among the traders is denton ( bob peck ) , of the powerful east india co . , who arrives at the home of an old friend , he ( sihung lung ) , and soon finds himself blockaded and he thrown into prison by the incorruptible , fiercely nationalist lin .\n' ' the operations of the film bureau have almost come to a halt , ' ' said wang shuo , one of china ' s most popular novelists . his earthy stories were headed for the screen until last spring . ' ' people have been waiting months for scripts to be cleared , but they just sit there , ' ' mr . wang said .\nwhat seems to most entrance barmak are the visual possibilities offered by the stunning afghan desert and its waving fields of pain - killing poppies , dramatically photographed by georgi dzulaiev . at one point , a column of identically - dressed women in burkas gracefully glides across the sands , only to reveal themselves as bearded opium smugglers with hidden kalashnikovs . why hide in the middle of the desert ? later , identically dressed soldiers wearing sunglasses appear out of nowhere accompanied by donkeys and ballot boxes , bringing \u201cdemocracy\u201d to the illiterate nomads . but long before then , most of the audience will have given up in despair .\namuch - hyped , long - planned project with a clear political message ,\nthe opium war\nis a consistently eye - pleasing historical costumer that ' s a superior example of its type without moving any mountains . further reduction of the running time to the two - hour mark would help its chances in western markets , though its best bet lies in the six - episode , six - hour tv miniseries to be hewn from the mountain of footage . the reportedly $ 15 million pic has so far been sold in east asia ( at record prices ) , and will open in china and hong kong on july 1 , when the latter territory reverts to mainland rule . the movie is in every respect a major improvement on the previous chinese treatment of the subject , the stodgy ' 50s\nlin zexu ,\nand veteran mainland director xie jin (\ntwo stage sisters ,\nhibiscus town\n) has come up with some moments of fine drama between the regulation historical stuff that such large - scale costumers are heir to . hong kong director ann hui , billed as an associate producer , helped out on the action scenes , and senior taiwan helmer lee hsing was a consultant on the project , which also uses some taiwan - based actors .\nhome | film / media | tour | themes | chronology | readings / links | site map | chinese frontline | itvs | center for asian american media | pbs \u00a9 long bow group , inc . all rights reserved .\nonondaga county executive joanie mahoney tells newschannel 9 ,\nall of the locations have been chosen , people are prepared , so when they come they ' ll be able to film the whole movie in about eight weeks , but all of those people in town it ' s a benefit to us to make more of this happen .\nstill , xie ' s expensive history lesson did hit home with many british members of the audience .\nthere really is no excuse for what my country did ,\noffers one businessman as he leaves the cinema .\nthis film certainly made that abundantly clear - - not only in black and white but in technicolor .\na century and a half after the fact , perhaps concessions like this are the greatest victory for director xie .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nhis comedy , ' ' an awkward life , ' ' was in midproduction when censors at the ministry of radio , television and film , which reports to the minister of propaganda , simply ordered shooting to stop . even his novels have disappeared from book stalls . mr . wang believes that in the wake of the changsha conference , censors feared they would be rebuked by party leaders if they allowed his story of an adulterous love triangle to be filmed .\nresolution 819 , also a rome world premiere , is a french - polish - italian co - production about a volunteer french police officer that heads out to srebrenica to research evidence of genocide . receiving his award , battiato said , ' part of this money will go to the refugees , and another part will go into the next film . '\nto promote inter - disciplinary research in social sciences and humanities from both the perspectives of the east and west .\nthe giveaway that this is a movie set is the cranes , the reflectors , the megaphones barking at hundreds of extras , and , in the midst of it all , xie jin , the director , in coolie chic : a broad peasant hat to shade his ample girth , which is covered by a chinese tunic with cut - off sleeves , shorts and beat - up nikes . he is trying to convey to a group of british actors , through an interpreter , that they should accentuate the imagery of their evil , their conniving and their inhumanity toward the chinese , whom they are poisoning with opium in the name of british mercantilism . when they get it right , he nods enthusiastically and says , ' ' hao , hao , hao ! ' ' ( ' ' good , good , good ! ' ' ) the interpreter interprets : ' ' director xie says the performance is good . ' '\nthe film opened to much buzz in hong kong with three well - attended premieres . shanghai - based xie flew in for the events , as did several of the film ' s taiwan and chinese actors . popular charity operation smile , which operates in china , sponsored a gala attended by more than 300 celebrities and moneyed locals . among them : former chief secretary sir david akers - jones , socialite fund - raiser alice chiu , art - house filmmaker wong kar wai and a bevy of television stars . xie , 73 , in a slightly crumpled suit , thick glasses and a giant corsage pinned to his lapel , looked distinctly mainland - like - - and proud .\nnever mind that her rejection is out of character for an opium tart who plied her trade in those long , low stretches of vice that canton had become by 1840 . one can imagine that next year , when she is forced to submit to british lasciviousness on the big screen , all of china will feel her shame through xie jin ' s lens .\nmr . ye , the son of a senior space scientist , grew up in the bosom of the party , so his bluntness about censorship is surprising ; his words probably reflect the views of many directors who chafe under the new regimen but are unwilling to express them so candidly in public .\nsome advance reviews had me aniticioationg breathtaking vistas of the forhidden city and the great wall and canton . those scenic wonders turn cut ot be fleeting at best , and two decades in the vault has done nothing to enhance the movie ' s colour , which looks as faded as the color in a typical theatrical print of american films of the same vintage .\nlike virtually every movie ,\nlin tse - hsu\nreveals interesting things about the culture that spawned it , but it ' s difficult to greet this 20 - year - old mediocrity as a major culture revelation . perhaps the import of earlier and later chinese features will put it all in perspective . in the meantime one can ' t help wondering what sent\nlin tse - hsu\nto the head of the american import line . it must have been either the drug angle or the fact that the british are the bad guys .\nthe story of two men , who met as apprentices in the peking opera , and stayed friends for over 50 years .\nread stories based on reporting for \u201ctrump revealed , \u201d a broad , comprehensive biography of the life of the 45th president .\nbao humanizes the character of the upright lin zexu as much as possible , but the main acting honors on the chinese side go to lin liankun as qi , a performance that\u2019s a clever , and sometimes humorous , mixture of duplicity and ignorance , and to su min as the ruthless but realistic emperor daoguang . among the brits , peck steals the show in several acting set pieces as the bottom - line denton , with williams gradually shading his playing as the snooty elliot . several other actors , including corin redgrave and nigel davenport , pop up in minor roles .\na white officer , don johnson ( peter bussian ) , and his black subordinate , joe ( joe suba ) , crawl out of their helicopter into a poppy field in northern afghanistan . in one of pic\u2019s many cliches , johnson is a smart brute , while joe , from harlem , isn\u2019t knowledgeable about anything except opium . however , their continuous bickering pales in comparison to the goings - on in the clan of the local one - legged patriarch ( hamid hozouri ) , who owns the field . \u201cosama\u201d protag marina golbahari ( who also did continuity duty ) co - stars as a mad member of the barmy family . some striking visual compositions and a locally flavored score are the only standout tech contributions .\nlewi is a consortium of 28 universities from north america , europe and asia . the institute , with hong kong baptist university ( hkbu ) as the host institution and base , was established in 1993 with the aim to foster inter - disciplinary social science and humanities research and cultivate collaborative scholarship between the east and the west .\nbob peck , who played the dinosaur keeper in ' ' jurassic park , ' ' helped mr . xie create the denton character .\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nparty bosses want to be seen as protecting the motherland from ' ' splittists ' ' in tibet , ' ' separatists ' ' in taiwan and pro - democracy ' ' counterrevolutionaries ' ' everywhere . the masses may not fully approve of the communist regime , which is still judged to be corrupt and incompetent in much of the country , but their patriotism is resonant with the themes and slogans the government is articulating .\nno matter . public reception promises to be much warmer . at an earlier promotional event , movie buffs were out in force to snap up signed copies of commemorative picture books . there was plenty of other memorabilia : coffee mugs , stamps . even scripts . clearly , merchandising is one area where the film is breaking new ground . and if it scores at the box office , director xie may well have set a marketing trend for chinese movies ."]}

action movie .\nby the time mr . dempsey , drenched and sputtering like rain man after a few hours in a sweat lodge , discovers that the heists have been set up by a criminal mastermind named marcellus drum who wants everyone else dead and who numbers among the survivors in the bank ( \u201cdon\u2019t you see ? the money\u2019s like flypaper ! \u201d tripp exclaims , seemingly gleeful that he has uncovered the mystery of the title ) , it\u2019s hard to work up any enthusiasm over whodunit . it doesn\u2019t help that in lieu of real storytelling , mr . minkoff relies on a hodge - podge of flashbacks in which various characters theorize as to who the killer might be , and it doesn\u2019t matter anyway , since none of the characters has been developed enough to make a convincing puppet master . the climactic reveal is suitably disappointing , and the final scene in which ( spoiler alert ? ) tripp and kaitlin ride off into the sunset is a big , hackneyed yawn\u2014even with a weak twist ending thrown in for good measure .\na while ago , garry and i watched what is i am sure among the lowest grossing movies of all time . i don\u2019t say this lightly . in its theatrical run , it grossed exactly ( according to both wikipedia and imdb ) $ 1100 , which even in our world is not a huge amount of money . no , there aren\u2019t any zeroes missing . that\u2019s the real number .\ngarry didn\u2019t recognize it , so he recorded it on the bedroom dvr . a couple of nights ago , while i was reading in bed ( my favorite indulgence ) , i noticed the bed was shaking . he was laughing . really laughing . garry doesn\u2019t normally lay in bed laughing . he told me that he was going to save this one because he thought i\u2019d like it . as a rule , there are a lot of things i find funny that he doesn\u2019t think are amusing , but never has the reverse been true . if he thinks its funny , it\u2019s funny .\nthe cast features ashley judd and patrick dempsey . it\u2019s directed by rob minkoff . the writers were the same guys who created the characters from the hangover . rob minkoff is known for co -

fashioned , but it bothers me .\nwhen i read movie reviews , i frequently wonder if the reviewer watched the same movie i did . or watched any movie at all . they heap praise on movies that are boring and sometimes much worse than that . they pan movies that are creative , unique and interesting . they apparently take special pleasure in negative reviews , the more vicious the better . meanwhile , they glorify obscure movies in which no one could possibly be interested .\nback in 1999 , garry and i were visiting friends in michigan . our group consisted of a lawyer , an engineer , a tv journalist , and a writer . we decided to rent the latest movie on which critics were heaping praise . it was the must -

ass naked .\nabout half an hour into the movie , our little group of well - read individualists looked at each other and briefly conferred . was anyone enjoying it ? no ? then why were we watching it ? we promptly popped the movie out of the machine and moved on with our evening . pop corn goes well with conversation , too .\nit reminds me of the woody allen movie hollywood ending . in it , a formerly prestigious director is broke and desperate for a movie project . he gets an offer to direct a big movie in new york . because the offer comes from his former wife ( t\u00e9a leoni ) and her current boyfriend ( treat williams ) , he is reluctant to take the assignment , even though he needs the money and something to get his career on track .\nhe finally agrees to do it and is immediately struck blind by some kind of psychosomatic ailment probably induced by anxiety . the production hasn\u2019t even started yet , but he decides to fake it . it costs $ 60 million and flops . but , there is a \u201chollywood ending . \u201d the movie becomes a huge hit in france . he happily proclaims , \u201cthank god the french exist . \u201d he knows the movie is awful , the worst thing he\u2019s ever done . he had no idea what he was doing , but the french read all kinds of deep meaning into it . there will always be people to love things that don\u2019t make sense because they figure it must be full of secret meaning . i went to school with these people . didn\u2019t we all ?\nour favorite bit of dialogue is between two of the older bank robbers complaining that they miss the good old days when all you needed was a gun and a brown paper bag . this in the midst of what could only be called the most catastrophically unsuccessful bank heist ever attempted .\nthe ending is predictable \u2026 or maybe not . it depends how your mind works . if you bump into it on cable or somewhere , give it a look . it\u2019s pretty good . really . i\u2019m not kidding . i did watch it , including the credits .\navailable from amazon on dvd , blu -

brahmin house . he then sets some hay on fire and tells the villages its the gods disapproval of these two crimes . he assembles a parade of villagers towards balu ( sathyaraj ) s house with weapons , and they demand that balu kick out amala from his home . balu refuses , a fight breaks out , and in the ensuing scuffle , he is stabbed and dies . his final request is for the villagers to live in unity , and not let caste divide them . in the poignant and controversial closing scene , sankara the young boy , who has now lost two fathers , is seen alone in the twilight hour of the holy sandhya ritual , removing his brahminical sacred thread ( invested only upon the upper castes ) and immersing it in a nearby stream , disgusted with , and in open defiance of the hypocrisies of strict brahminical casteist beliefs , while performing the last funeral rites of balu thevar as though he were his own son .\npopular : trivia , history , america , television , tv , usa , world , geography , . . . more\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis is one of the few films that highlights some of the issues caused by the caste system . the film ' s narrative was seamless and starred sathyaraj as balu thevar . it contains some of bharathiraja ' s trademark directorial touches as well as a lot of path breaking scenes , along with kannan ' s powerful dialogues .\na young upper -

pen drawing by artist anikartick , chennai , tamil nadu , india by artist anikartick , chennai ( t . subbulapuram vasu )\np . bharathiraja ( tamil : \u0baa\u0bbf . \u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9c\u0bbe ; born 17 july 1941 ) is a south indian filmmaker who works mainly in the tamil film industry . bharathiraja displayed a story - teller ' s potential from an early age . he is known for his realistic and sensitive portrayal of village - life in his movies .\nbharathiraja started his film career as an assistant to director and actor ' s p . pullaiya , malayalam filmmaker krishnan nair [ 4 ] and kannada filmmaker puttanna kanagal . [ 5 ] he also worked with krishnan nair , avinasi mani and a . jaganathan , he learned the grammar of film - making and got his first directorial opportunity in 1977 . his first film 16 vayathinile for which he wrote the script broke the then existing convention to create a new genre of village cinema . the movie is now regarded as a game - changer and a mile - stone in the modern history of tamil cinema . about the movie , said bharathirajaa in his own words ,\nthis movie was meant to be black and white art film produced with the help of national film development corporation\n, but turned out to be a commercially successful color film and a starting point for several important careers . [ 6 ]\nhis next film kizhake pogum rail produced similar results and eventually brought in criticisms that bharathiraja was capable of catering only to village audiences . this led him to make sigappu rojakkal , about a psychopathic woman hater that was totally westernized in terms of both conception and production . [ 7 ] but contrary to what several observers expected , this film met with box office success and everyone agreed that bharathiraja was here to stay .\nbharathiraja confirmed his versatility and refusal to be tied down to one particular genre with an experimental film nizhalgal and an action thriller tik tik tik . but , undoubtedly rural themes proved to be his forte as his biggest hits in the 1980s alaigal oivadhillai , mann vasanai and muthal mariyathai were strong love stories in a village backdrop . muthal mariyathai starred veteran actor sivaji ganesan in the lead , playing a middle - aged village head . radha is a poor young woman who moves into his village for a living . the love that bonds these two humans separated not just by age but also by caste and class , is told by bharathiraja with poetic touches .

smelling indoor sets to a refreshingly rural environment .\n\u201cyes , i infused life [ into tamil cinema ] . my characters were not from an alien world . they were just you and me portraying life\u2019s agonies and ecstasies , \u201d says bharathiraja , alias p . chinnasamy , who hails from allinagaram village in theni district , tamil nadu .\nbharathiraja\u2019s forte was the portrayal of the predicaments of simple people in idyllic , rural environments and it turned the established traditions of tamil cinema upside down . his camera was equally adept at capturing the superficial sophistication of the elite .\nthis versatility enriched tamil movies like never before . \u201cwith m . g . ramachandran and sivaji ganesan sharing all the tamil fans between themselves , we were left with very little space and it almost choked us . in fact , it prompted us to experiment creatively to get us noticed in the industry , \u201d bharathiraja says .\nbharathiraja survived by striking a chord in the rural audience . for the first time in tamil cinema history , the man - behind - the - camera emerged as hero though a few others , including k . balachander , had made a name for themselves .\non the appearance of the title card in which bharathiraja addresses the audience , calling them in his booming voice \u201cen iniya thamizh makkale\u201d ( my sweet tamil people ) , the audience would erupt in roaring applause . \u201cthe audience had started looking for the names of directors , choreographers , cinematographers and editors in title cards , \u201d he says with a smile .\nthe success of his maiden venture 16 vayathinile made him the toast of kollywood overnight . the film was to be made in black and white by the national film development corporation . \u201cbut it backed out at the last minute without giving a reason , \u201d he says .\nundeterred , bharathiraja went ahead with the film , shooting for the first time in natural light and in the pristine environment of mist - clad mountains and sparkling streams , taking the viewers closer to their rural roots . he did not hesitate to tackle serious social issues such as female infanticide ( karuthamma ) , casteism ( vedam puthithu ) or unemployment ( nizhalgal ) .\nbut nizhalgal had a few flaws too , he concedes . \u201ci had described failure in detail instead of [ showing ] optimism . the raw tragedy that unfolded at the end was too scary . the audience had to leave the theatre disturbed as it was a painful rendition of death and decay . i should have handled it sensitively and maturely , \u201d he says . comparing it to veteran balachander\u2019s varumaiyin niram sigappu , he says it was a mature treatment of a sensitive subject which conveyed a sense of optimism .\nbut , according to critics , it was bharathiraja\u2019s achievements that jolted balachander and a host of other directors then to give their best . and , to the delight of tamil movie buffs , this healthy competition brought the best out of the two big \u201cb\u201ds\u2014balachander and bharathiraja\u2014at a time when hindi blockbusters had started flooding the tamil screen .\n\u201cthe audience had started believing that i could handle any subject , from the exploits of a psychopath killer in sigappu rojakkal to a glossy thriller in tik , tik , tik , to a serious experimental movie such as nizhalgal , to pristine love tales in kizhake pogum rail and mann vasanai , to serious socials like puthumai penn , anthimantharai and kizhakku cheemayile , \u201d he says . mudhal mariyadhai , a gentle and mature love story between a village belle ( radha ) and a respectable , middle - aged village head ( sivaji ganesan ) , he says , is his magnum opus . \u201csivaji was a director\u2019s delight and a phenomenon , \u201d he says .\nbut failure began stalking him in the late 1990s . his critics say his persistence with rural themes is one of the reasons . his 50th film , annakodi , is again a village - centric love story that has many similarities with 16 vayathinile , they point out . he did try to prop up his sagging fortunes by giving a few commercial hits like kodi parakkuthu with rajinikanth and bommalattam with nana patekar and arjun in the lead .\nbut neither failure nor success has had an impact on him . \u201cfailures cannot destroy me . i learn from them . successes prompt me to strive for perfection , \u201d he says . he says he has never played the caste card \u201cexplicitly in any of my ventures as a few of today\u2019s directors do . i am a creative artist\u201d . vedam puthithu is about an inter - caste love affair between a brahmin girl and a thevar youth while kizhake pogum rail was about a village hairdresser falling in love with a caste hindu girl . in alaigal oivathillai , a christian girl elopes with a brahmin boy .\n\u201cin all these films i have made \u2018love\u2019 the protagonist and not caste or character . i was extremely careful not to mention directly any caste or religion . \u201d he is of the opinion that creativity cannot be put into such narrow social confines .\nthe successful trio of bharathiraja , ilayaraja and vairamuthu , despite many hits to their credit , had to part ways to \u201csurvive and prove our individual mettle\u201d . \u201cour originality got hopelessly submerged in our collective creativity . hence , we parted ways and we have no regrets today , \u201d he says .\nhe is competing against a third generation of directors today . \u201ctheir innovative ideas simply amaze me . \u201d digital technology is giving them an edge , he says . tamil cinema , he feels , is undergoing yet another transformation as young artists and directors make their mark . \u201cbut i am also in the field , a part of it , \u201d he says . \u201ci am making the kind of films i have always wanted to . i have no regrets . \u201d he is already on to his next project and his journey is one that few directors have made .\nacross the world , big business attributes the loss of legitimacy of neoliberalism to corruption , impunity and the inability to combat crime rather than the marginalising and exclusionary effects of neoliberalism itself .\ndifferences between the government and the sangh parivar over privatisation and corporatisation may be holding up the new education policy four years into the narendra modi government .\n\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9c\u0bbe ; born 17 july 1941 ) is a south indian filmmaker who works mainly in the tamil film industry .\nhe has won six national film awards , two tamil nadu state film awards and is also a recipient of other awards such as filmfare awards south , cinema express awards and nandi awards . bharathiraja started his film career as an assistant to director p .\njaganathan , he learned the grammar of film - making and got his first directorial opportunity in 1977 .\nhis first film 16 vayathinile for which he wrote the script broke the then existing convention to create a new genre of village cinema .\nthe movie is now regarded as a game - changer and a mile - stone in the modern history of tamil cinema .\nabout the movie , said bharathirajaa in his own words ,\nthis movie was meant to be black and white art film produced with the help of national film development corporation\n, but turned out to be a commercially successful color film and a starting point for several important careers . his next film kizhakke pogum rail produced similar results and eventually brought in criticisms that bharathiraja was capable of catering only to village audiences .\nthis led him to make sigappu rojakkal , about a psychopathic woman hater that was totally westernized in terms of both conception and production .\nbut contrary to what several observers expected , this film met with box office success and everyone agreed that bharathiraja was here to stay . bharathiraja confirmed his versatility and refusal to be tied down to one particular genre with an experimental film nizhalgal and an action thriller tik tik tik .\nbut , undoubtedly rural themes proved to be his forte as his biggest hits in the 1980s alaigal oivadhillai , mann vasanai and muthal mariyathai were strong love stories in a village backdrop .\nmuthal mariyathai starred veteran actor sivaji ganesan in the lead , playing a middle -

brahmin trend common in tamil films \u2013 in this respect it departed from his earlier success , alaigal oiyvadhillai , where the caste and religion factor was given a more balanced treatment .\nthe commercial success of kizhakku cheemaiyile and the awards karuththamma garnered stand as testimony for his ability to thrill the younger generation as well .\nbharathiraja was on the same stage in 1996 to receive another national award for anthimanthaarai . he has plans of making short films with varying themes to attract the international audience and has currently completed his latest venture kadal pookal and picked up a national award for the best screenplay writer for the same film .\nthe well -

go - lucky life with his eight siblings and a doting mother . he ' s in love with his cousin selvi , and their marriage has the sanction , more - or - less , of the adults of the family . much - maligned for loafing about for years , annamalai suddenly changes his lifestyle and earns the goodwill of selvi ' s father but just when everything seems set for a good life , he ' s accused of theft .\nthe settings and characters are extremely realistic , which is what you only expect of a thankar movie but it ' s equally obvious that there ' s precious little in the story that can be drawn out for almost three hours . characters change themselves at the drop of a hat , the narration is choppy and you wonder what happened to the finesse that ' s usually a part of his work . the story also revolves around a mystery , almost a whodunit - - except that you know what ' s going to happen right at the very end . but what truly sinks the movie is the melodrama which drags on and on .\nshantanoo , given that he ' s presented with an opportunity to actually prove himself in a rustic role , does work hard , but can ' t rid himself of hamming .\niniya looks very pretty and cries well too -

stuck - in - the - cans \u2018kalavaadiya pozhudhugal\u2019 ( starring prakash raj , prabhu deva and bhumika chawla ) . strange choice for composer , this time !\nwhat kind of a review is this ? have you heard all the songs ? instead of dissecting the songs you have just given a one line statement demeaning the man\u2019s work ! i just heard all the tracks and each one is unique and shows the versatality of the music director . it is music which touches the soul and will be proven once the music releases .\nw . r . t the comment below , music has no language ! just like how rehman has scored for other languages other than tamil , why can\u2019t someone else score for a tamil film ? it is time we got out of this narrow minded mentaility and opened our minds in this changing world .\nsorry \u2013 i should have added some context to thangar roping in a new composer and my comment on it . thangar bachan has always been a staunch supporter of tamil artists and tamil pride . so it is rather surprising that he actually someone from outside tamil nadu for this project . not that there\u2019s anything wrong with it \u2013 just surprising , given his past utterances on this subject .\non the other point \u2013 about my opinion on this soundtrack\u2026 it remains the same . not demeaning it , but i can\u2019t wax eloquent on it either , since that would be against my conscience . you just have to live with the fact that there is at least one person whose soul has not been touched with this soundtrack / these songs .\nporkkalam was purely director\u2019s show . bandi sarojkumar is a one man army . you can sense his style of cinematography and music in asthamanam too similar to his 1st movie porkalam , with a different set of technical crew for his 1st movie . i also follow bandi\u2019s interviews which are very informative and knowledgeable , which express his strength towards technical aspects . so i strongly feel rohit will have nothing to get compared with porkkalam . this must be his actual potential though . but i respect thangar bachan sir for his off -

professionals , clement tells the story of french railway workers who bravely battle the nazis on many fronts , aiding the allied invasion of 1944 . legendary cameraman henri alekan ( beauty and the beast ) , himself a resistance fighter who escaped nazi pow camps , shot the film in a gritty , semi - documentary style .\nit packs in a lot to its 90 minutes running time , but it ' s an entertaining and even thoughtful little film that only really lets itself down with its surely by 1975 outmoded whooping injun portrayal . a very pleasant surprise , though ,\nalistair maclean has always been one of my favorite authors , dating back to my high - school days in the mid - ' 60s . he has written many outstanding books , and many films have been made from them . too many times , however , the title is the only thing that remains the same . not in this case , however . either maclean himself was involved with this film , or the director actually read the book first before starting , as this film is faithful to the book . a rarity indeed .\nblu - ray extras include two making - of featurettes ; deleted scenes ; an on - set documentary ; an interview with philosopher slavoj \u017ei\u017eek about the movie ' s social and political themes ; and carlos cuar\u00f3n ' s 2002 short film , you owe me one .\none of my early introductions to charles bronson was in death wish iii . i ' m not sure if i ' d seen the other two films yet , but it made no difference really in terms of me loving this overblown sequel . one thing i loved about it was seeing ed lauter as a hard - nosed cop who ends up teaming with bronson to fight a riot filled city full of scumbags . lauter and bronson had a great chemistry together there , but i had no idea they ' d worked together before . a few times actually . breakheart was perhaps their first film together , followed by the white buffalo and death hunt prior to death wish iii .\nthe film ' s title silver streak was inspired by the chicago , burlington & quincy ( cb & q ) railroad ' s pioneer zephyr , nicknamed\nsilver streak\nfor its stainless steel construction and 13 hour and 5 minute speed record between denver and chicago in 1934 .\npeople come from all over to experience the sundance film festival , held annually in january . many of the biggest names in filmmaking got their breaks while debuting here in utah . sundance has made indies into blockbusters over night , and it all happens right here , every year .\none thing i neglected to mention is the music in the film . that ' s nearly a travesty because the score was done by the great jerry goldsmith . it has an interesting western instrumentation to it and a rollicking adventurey vibe . check out the main title for a sample :\nthe affable johnson , who made many friends during the weeks at lewiston last year , was given a special honor when a film clip from\nthe last picture show ,\nwhich won him an academy award for the best supporting actor , was run prior to the regular movie .\nnot that contacts here have been purely mercenary . in fact , many residents offered to work free as extras or assist in other ways just for the thrill of working on a movie . however , the film company says it has insisted on paying everyone something in accordance with union regulations .\nthe train station at the beginning of the film , identified as geneva , was actually filmed at basel , switzerland . exterior scenes of the train were filmed in italy , france , and switzerland with multiple electric and diesel locomotives . interior shots were filmed at a studio in rome , italy .\nreally , that description doesn ' t come close to describing many of the things going on here . it really is a surprisingly intricately plotted film courtesy of the pen of alistair maclean that ends up being far more than just a train - based mystery thriller as well . in fact , the only thing that happens in the film that you would expect to happen is the obligatory train - top fight - but even during that bronson pulls out , and i ' m not joking , a drop - kick that ricky ' the dragon ' steamboat would have been proud of in his prime .\nfilming locations : exterior scenes feature the 20th century limited ( specifically car # 10006 ) , though the interior shots of dining and sleeping cars were filmed at an mgm soundstage . station scenes include lasalle street station ( chicago ) and grand central station ( new york city ) . the final scene was filmed at the west portal of southern pacific ( now union pacific ) tunnel # 26 in santa susana pass near los angeles .\nsynopsis : polish director krzysztof kieslowski weaves a fascinating tale of fate that draws the curtain back on life in communist poland circa 1980 . the film plays out three possible life scenarios for a disillusioned young man named witek ( boguslaw linda ) , all depending on whether he catches a certain train to warsaw .\nbsx records presents here for the first time the complete lifeforce score . in this case , it means not only the score provided by henry mancini , but the additional music required after the film was truncated and re - edited . the latter was composed by michael kamen and appears hear apart from the film for the first time . the album , and subsequent cd release on varese sarabande attempted to arrange the score in segments like a large tone poem and was one of the most satisfying releases in varese\u2019s catalogue . if you missed out , bsx has included that complete release at the end of disc two .\neven now that the filming is all over with , things will never return to normal for marcia williams and peter mcwhorter . miss williams was working at the ponderosa lewis\u2010clark motor inn fax lewiston when mr . mcwhorter , the production crew caterer , arrived with the rest of the film company feb . 7 .\nfilming locations : the film was shot in british columbia , where a\nlac des arcs\ntrain station was built along the tracks specifically for the film . the train consisted of a british columbia railway ( bc rail ) sd40 -

fraternity member , decides to take revenge on the partying students by killing them off one by one in increasingly grisly fashion .\nas a result , it feels like a movie out of its time \u2013 a commercial western -

time rail employees ( michael stipe of r . e . m . and henry gibson of magnolia ) .\nthe train wreck sequence was filmed using a mock - up engine and station at burbank airport . however , the approach to the crash was filmed using a hi - rail truck on track # 2 at north western station ( now ogilvie transportation center ) in chicago . inclusion of this scene caused amtrak to withdraw from the film , pushing much of the filming to canada .\nthis was by no stretch a great film , but it ' s a very fun film on par with death hunt and many other bronson actioners . it ' s lacking a bit of the humor and dazzle of the similar but superior emperor of the north , but as an action western with a bit of mystery , a bit of gun play , a bit of bodies plummeting from high bridges and tons of train porn , it does not disappoint . the cast is surprisingly stacked and the cinematography is more handsome than it has to be , capturing the snowy west beautifully . the title is hogwash and just silly to say aloud , but for bronson fans , 70s action fans , western completists , definitely seek it out . it ' s on netflix .\nhowever , mr . gibbs did have a bad moment recently . because his house appears in film shots , the movie company repaneled part of the exterior free of charge . the other day the local assessor dropped by to watch the filmmaking and mr . gibbs was terrified he would see the improvement and raise the farm ' s taxes . the assessor , however , ignored it .\none thing at which film score collectors of a certain age will raise a wry smile is the little suspense motif that runs through some of the score -

staged action . the entertainment value was enhanced by both the solid cast and - especially - jerry goldsmith ' s score , at the heart of which is the rousing main theme that also appears later in different arrangements . the other tracks convey suspense , tension , danger and romance as needed to support what ' s happening on the screen at the time . a highly recommended soundtrack .\nthis fellow , played by mr . bronson , seems already to have passed through his own time into history . the great physique is no longer young , but it is more powerful than ever , as if transfused by age with some kind of supervigor that affects brain as well as brawn . needless to say , he is the film ' s hero\u2010figure , but how he assumes the role is the point of the screenplay ' s twists that owe more to agatha christie than to zane grey .\nsynopsis : a group of four men assault a train station clerk , then rob a train where they take the money and shoot a passenger . once the clerk is discovered tied up at the station , the sheriff and his men begin a hunt for the bandits . this 1903 film uses simple editing techniques ( each scene is a single shot ) and the story is mostly linear ( with only a few\nmeanwhile\nmoments ) but it represents a significant step in movie making , being one of the first\nnarrative\nmovies .\nsherman and a colleague arrive at a warehouse ( run by morgenstern but without his partner mugenthaler who only appears in the book ) where the drugs are being distributed . there he meets van gelder and his niece . he finds out that they are part of the trafficking gang and that trudi had been faking her mental disability . a shootout leaves trudi dead and sherman wounded . van gelder tries to escape , but is killed by sherman ( again a discrepancy in that he falls to his death in the film but is skewered on a hook in the book ) .\nthe recording here is a bit muddier than that for the mancini score and seems to have more source deterioration . it works less separately from the film , but oddly those familiar with the accompanying visuals will remember this music . while the re -

oiled machine\nthey have at smallville .\nit was actually the first day that they started back . even with a 3 - month break or whatever it is , they just jump right back in . so it was great ,\nhe said .\nthe series also gave ashmore a chance to play two different versions of the character when a magically imbued object in the mystical warehouse split jinks into two . \u201cit was interesting to shoot because you\u2019re literally playing one very stern grumpy version of the character , and the other half is this flamboyantly gay version of him , \u201d remembers ashmore . \u201cthe idea is if you mix them together you get who steve is . but when they\u2019re separated , they\u2019re just polar opposites . getting to play both of them and interact with myself through a green screen was really fun . \u201d\n\u201ci thought he was an interesting character because he wasn\u2019t your stereotypically calm or centered buddhist , \u201d ashmore recalls . \u201che could be a little uptight or negative at times . so it was funny that he was [ buddhist ] , because you wouldn\u2019t assume that . it was just something he adopted to help center himself . \u201d\naaron does not know at this time how many episodes of smallville will feature jimmy olsen , but he has had time for some outside projects . one project is currently filming - a movie called palo alto also starring ryan hansen ,\ndick casablancas\nof veronica mars .\ni don ' t know when it ' s going to be out , but keep an eye open for it , because i think it ' s gonna be great ,\naaron tells us . and although he does not know what the plans are , he wouldn ' t rule out a return appearance on veronica mars if they should want to bring back troy .\ni think veronica mars is a great show , so if they wanted me to , i would love to . i love the show , and i love the character of troy , too ,\nhe tells us .\n\u201cit doesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019s a completely different character , \u201d says ashmore , \u201cbut some of the things that have happened to him over the past two seasons are showing . it\u2019s interesting because d\u2019avin is playing some of the lighter stuff and keeps feeling like he\u2019s joined this family , so he\u2019s opening up , while john\u2019s closing up a little bit . \u201d\nit\u2019s these additional dimensions to his character that keep ashmore so excited about playing john : \u201cthere\u2019s obviously this real heart to him , but at the same time he also surprises me as an actor by shooting someone in the head , or blowing somebody away . getting a chance to play a three - dimensional character has been pretty fun and exciting . \u201d\naaron ' s first s mallville scenes are set at the daily planet , where he shares screen time with allison mack ( chloe ) and tom welling ( clark ) .\ni got to do a couple scenes with allison mack , and i did a scene with tom welling as well . both were very welcome , and it was just totally cool . they were just like , ' come and play ' . it was really great ,\nhe revealed .\nas as result , ashmore says he \u201cobviously responds\u201d to similar material , but he also credits the direction of his career to the rising popularity of genre storytelling : \u201cas an actor , you\u2019re going out for a ton of different things , but if half of it is genre stuff , the likelihood that you\u2019re going to get into some of that is pretty high . \u201d\n\u201cthere\u2019s maybe a little bit of darkness that\u2019s crept into john this season , \u201d ashmore says . and no wonder \u2014 last season , john\u2019s girlfriend , pawter simms ( sarah power ) was killed , leading him to not only shoot her killer ( mayko nguyen\u2019s delle sayah kendry ) in revenge but also leave his partners ( and their ship ) and set off on his own .\nthe actor didn\u2019t know about his character\u2019s true intentions until the got the script for that episode , which he says helped his performance . \u201ci think it\u2019s interesting because then you\u2019re not playing into anything or foreshadowing that he\u2019s going to be a bad guy , \u201d says ashmore . \u201cyou actually think that he\u2019s going to be this really cool guy and that he and veronica are going to get along very well . \u201d\nlast season on warehouse 13 , walter sykes ( anthony michael hall ) devised to destroy the warehouse and get vengeance on the regents . although it backfired that resulted to his demise , sykes was successful at destroying the warehouse and therefore , killing several others in the process . mrs . frederic ( cch pounder ) , steve jinks ( aaron ashmore ) and h . g . wells ( jaime murray ) were all killed . this leaves the last remaining ones , pete lattimer ( eddie mcclintock ) , myka bering ( joanne kelly ) , and artie nielsen ( saul rubinek ) with the tough task of traveling to the other side of the planet to find an artifact that may or may not exist . what kind of artifact is it ? what could be the ultimate price of possessing it ? if the team is able to find it , how then will it impact things on warehouse 13 season 4 ? which warehouse 13 character are you ?\nsouvenir from the set : \u201cwhen killjoys ends , hopefully not for a couple more years , i would definitely take my jacket , \u201d says ashmore . \u201cthey custom make these jackets , and they have all this really cool armor and patches , and all that stuff on them . we also have these futuristic guns that look like regular guns , but they\u2019ve been modified so they\u2019re really cool , so i\u2019d take that , and definitely a few little science - y things . \u201d\n\u201cthere was this huge aspect of [ jimmy\u2019s ] personality that was very insecure and and constantly worried about chloe loving clark that felt a bit soap - ish in a way that i wasn\u2019t crazy about , \u201d ashmore admits . \u201cbut i really liked the interactions with clark and how interested jimmy was in superman and tracking him down . they definitely had a lot of great moments where he was putting the pieces together that clark is superman , which felt very iconic to me . \u201d\nas for the popular book series itself , ashmore says while he never read all of it because he and his brother were in their late teens when shawn was starring on the show , he did pick up a few books when his brother got cast . \u201ci thought they were really fun , and that it was a good little series\u2026 but we may have missed it . if we were five or six years younger , we probably would have been the perfect age range for them . \u201d\n\u201c [ troy ] was so nice to veronica and she\u2019d had such a crappy time of things that people were like , \u2018this guy\u2019s great . \u2019 it lulled them into a false sense of security , so when he turned out to be a jerk , people were so angry at him , \u201d says ashmore , who enjoyed playing troy\u2019s sense of humor and wit . \u201che could have been such a nice guy and great for veronica , but like most people , he turned out to be an ass . \u201d\n\u201cwhen i did the first one , i was definitely a fan of the show . i was the perfect age range for that , \u201d ashmore recalls . \u201cby the time i did the second episode , i still watched it , but i was a little older , so i was into slightly older things . but most of my friends watched the show , too , so it was something that you did that all of your friends were going to watch , and you knew that so that was exciting . \u201d\nphotographer marcus ( aaron ashmore ) and workaholic journalist carmen ( cindy sampson ) are on the verge of a breakup , but carmen thinks she can salvage the relationship at the same time she can boost her career by breaking a missing person\u2019s story about an american backpacker who disappeared somewhere in poland . going against her boss\u2019 orders , she hops over to a small village with marcus and her babe - in - the - woods assistant sara ( meghan heffern ) . threatened by the locals but refusing to leave without answers , the trio come upon a clearing in the woods engulfed in a dense white fog . inside the fog is a demonic statue that seems to be alive . then the villagers get really pissed about trespassing on their \u201cshrine\u201d and carmen and sara soon find themselves dressed in white for a cult sacrifice . i had a strange feeling that meghan heffern was channeling heather matarazzo\u2019s character from hostel : part ii , and you know how that turned out for her . ( watching the torture / death scene involving a mask with sharp metal thorns being pummeled into the victim\u2019s eyes , i had a nice flashback to barbara steele\u2019s death at the beginning of black sunday ) .\n\u201ci\u2019ve always been a big fan of science fiction and fantasy , \u201d says ashmore , who was a big chronicles of narnia and tolkien fan when he was younger . \u201ci was a huge star trek fan . i watched next generation every day whenever it was on , and then i got into deep space nine which i really , really liked . i also loved the x - files , which was a huge show i didn\u2019t miss . my parents , my brother , and i would watch it every week it was on . \u201d\nthe role may have been in his sci - fi wheelhouse , but it did challenge him in another area : as nate , ashmore had to play guitar on camera . \u201cit turned out fine , but it was a little nerve wracking pushing your boundaries around stuff like that , where you\u2019re like , \u2018there\u2019s going to be a lot of people watching me sing , and i\u2019m not a singer . \u2019 but that\u2019s a great thing about playing these roles . sometimes you end up pushing yourself a little out of your comfort zone . \u201d\n\u201cthat show had a really big fan base , but also the character i played was gay , and that really resonated with a lot of people , \u201d says ashmore about his role as steve jinks , a new warehouse agent introduced in the third season of the syfy drama . jinks was hired to replace myka bering ( joanne kelly ) before being partnered with claudia donovan ( stitchers \u2019 allison scagliotti ) . it was revealed that not only was jinks gay and a buddhist , but that he also had the ability to tell when anyone is lying .\n\u201ci couldn\u2019t believe that i booked the part , \u201d laughs ashmore of his role as jimmy olsen , who worked alongside clark kent ( tom welling ) and lois lane ( erica durance ) as a photojournalist at the daily planet , where he the first person to get a photo of \u2018the blur\u2019 ( clark\u2019s superhero moniker at the time ) . jimy also married and divorced clark\u2019s best friend chloe sullivan ( allison mack ) . he would later die on the series , but not before learning clark\u2019s secret and telling his ex - wife he would always love her .\nhe was showned as jimmy olsen , first love attention of chloe sullivan , for the sixth period of smallville on the wb tv network and sustained to act him into its eighth season . two years after goodbye the show , ashmore returns to play his attractiveness ' s younger brother on the series ending . unexpectedly , his colleague sam huntington played olsen in superman returns and the two have together seen in veronica mars . urltoken publicized on october 6 , 2010 , that he will have a part in maple pictures funniness movie servitude , which stars joe dinicol , lauren collins , linda kash , and john bregar .\ncloaking the hitman in anonymity is another miscalculation \u2013 without a clear threat , much of the urgency dissipates . the script ' s shortcomings fortunately don ' t put undue limitations on the actors , who remain enticing through much of the film . canning plays the linchpin , her outrageous ( if implausible ) behavior providing the impetus for the couple ' s inconsistent chemistry . ashmore at first appears sympathetic as her frazzled boyfriend , until revelations about his personal history tip the power balance back to neutral . working within some obvious resource constraints , stewart and clark keep the film looking nicely polished , sustained by james klopko ' s lucent cinematography .\ni ' m not the most gregarious personality , so any amount of attention makes me shy or nervous , but i ' m not opposed to that at all . people respond to the character and care about him , and that makes me proud that we ' ve created a character together with the writers that people really care about , and that ' s the biggest compliment to me .\nanne blythe has a great life : a good job , close friends , and a potential book deal for her first novel . when it comes to finding someone to share her life with , however , she just can ' t seem to get it right . when her latest relationship implodes , and her best friend announces she ' s engaged , anne impulsively calls what she thinks is a dating service\u00e2\u20ac\u201donly to discover that it ' s actually an exclusive , and pricey , arranged\nafter all , arranged marriages are the norm for millions of women around the world ; maybe it could work for her .\na few months later , anne is traveling to a mexican resort , where , over the course of a weekend , she meets and then marries jack . and initially , everything seems to be working out .\nwe ' ll be sure to post information for more convention appearances as we hear them . : )\n( which is currently available on netflix instant in case you haven ' t seen it yet ) . enjoy !\nworking on getting some more pages updated . i just moved a bunch of old updates into the\nwhich was definitely not at all done because i just really liked this gif that i made last night when i was trying to fall asleep and sleep wouldn ' t come no not at all because that would be weird .\nother than that i busted out my screencapping software and got back to work . you can check out the results in the gallery with\nso it ' s been over a year since there was an update to this website and a lot of things have happened since then .\nit turns out that the whole having a grown up job thing is a little overrated and that combined with some volunteer gigs are a little counterproductive to running a fansite . we ' re not going anywhere and despite the lack of activity there are updates in the pipeline -\n- updates once a week . . . it ' s our new year ' s resolution , we swear it !\nadditional resolutions include no longer using the royal we as the staff actual consists of one person but you know . . . baby steps .\n- playing at the festival . the festival runs from jan . 17th - 23rd , 2014 in park city , utah .\nthan hawke is one of the most naturally plausible screen actors working today , but regression is the film that has finally defeated him . not even he can sell you on the psychological turmoil of a man who\u2019s haunted by a sachet of cup - a - soup .\nthis is , believe it or not , one of the less absurd twists of alejandro amen\u00e1bar\u2019s supernatural thriller , in which hawke plays bruce kenner , a minnesotan plain - clothes cop who\u2019s investigating a suspected local outbreak of devil - worship .\nfrom its occult premise to the voguishly dingy 1990s period setting and plentiful shots of greenish oil refineries , the film desperately wishes it were true detective \u2013 though its plot feels heavily inspired by the notorious\nwest memphis three\ncase of 1993 , in which a trio of arkansas teenagers were wrongly convicted of murdering three young boys in a stomach - churning blood rite .\nthe victim here is still alive , but only just . she\u2019s angela ( emma watson ) , a frail and troubled teenager whose father john ( david dencik ) confesses to having sexually abused her , even though he has no specific memory of the crime . baffled , kenner turns to dr raines ( david thewlis ) , an english hypnotherapist with both the appearance and personality of an illegally dumped armchair .\nthe doctor uses regression therapy to draw out the gory particulars , and gory is indeed the word for them .\nangela , it transpires , was an unwilling participant in some dread satanic ceremony \u2013 and further details gleaned from her waifish runaway brother ( devon bostick ) and distressed - leather handbag of a grandmother ( dale dickey ) paint a truly boschian picture of child sacrifice and ritualistic rape in the moonlit backwoods . the initially sceptical kenner is shaken , and suspects he might be the next target of this murderous cabal . and this is where , among other things , the cup - a - soup comes in .\nas the director of the others and open your eyes , amen\u00e1bar is no stranger to psychologically vivid thrillers with ghostly overtones , but regression feels depressingly like journeyman work . a few flourishes make an impression \u2013 close - ups of the hooded figures evoke the flash - frames of the demon pazuzu in the exorcist \u2013 but they\u2019re exclusively visual , and tend to be defanged by the corny sound effects ( so much backwards whispering ) and snarlingly unsubtle score .\nby all rights , watson should be the film\u2019s unnerving heart , but her role \u2013 through the fault of the script , rather than the actress \u2013 is pure dramatic cardboard . as for the wisdom of building a did - she - didn\u2019t - she guessing game around a vulnerable young woman\u2019s rape testimony , the choice feels at best unfortunate .\nthe real west memphis three case has already been well - served by cinema , in atom egoyan\u2019s underrated procedural devil\u2019s knot , the paradise lost documentaries , and amy berg\u2019s excellent west of memphis . all of those films took a sober , analytical tack that was at shivery odds with the lurid material . regression fails by trying to have it both ways : you just can\u2019t feel sceptical and scared at the same time .\nwe urge you to turn off your ad blocker for the telegraph website so that you can continue to access our quality content in the future .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\njon knautz\u2019s sophomore effort the shrine surprised me . it\u2019s a blend of certain genre horrors \u2013 satanic cults , torture porn , demonic possession flicks \u2013 and out of the mix it creates something heady , and if the beginning comes across as a bit ho - hum ( characters follow the horror handbook by making stupid decisions ) , the ending makes up for it by subverting audience expectations in a number of ways . the horrors , when they come , are visceral and uncompromising \u2013 and upon further reflection , political . if the shrine indulges our sense of superiority in watching these kinds of films by having its characters make predictable decisions ( a character gets multiple warning signs \u2013 from dreams and irate villagers , but ignores them ) , it punishes them ( and the audience ) by upending the \u201cfinal girl\u201d trope completely . it reminded me of when richard falcon described miike\u2019s audition ( and hitchcock\u2019s psycho ) as a \u201cbreach of contract between filmmaker and audience . \u201d i\u2019m not sure that the shrine does it as well as those films , but i like that it tries .\nsure , i ' m an evil demon . but i love modeling on the side .\nthe shrine plays a little bit with conventions . one example is how our victims see the villagers as demons / monsters , a tactic that is eventually revealed to be misdirection , but it\u2019s a good one . the movie has some other neat tricks , especially during the final minutes when it suddenly becomes the evil dead , with a newly possessed \u201cdeadite\u201d laying waste to the poor saps who obviously haven\u2019t been doing their cult thing long enough . i have to tread lightly here when discussing the plot , lest i give away too much . i will just say that there is a reason why the polish spoken by the villagers isn\u2019t subtitled ( and i hear that it\u2019s butchered polish anyway , but no matter for english speakers ) . i will also tell you that because the ending packs a decent visual punch , the fact that the whole sequence plays out in a different language is of no lasting consequence , a testament to the power of horror in the visual medium . no , they\u2019re definitely not in poland ( more like ontario ) , and we\u2019re never told the origins of the evil statue in the fog , but that\u2019s not the point anyway .\nthere\u2019s something of political commentary in the shrine , as evidenced by the need for carmen to intervene in a situation that she has no business doing , as unprepared she and her friends are for the mission . when they get to the village , they find that they are subject to forces they don\u2019t understand , and they misidentify the source of the danger \u2013 the villagers / cultists are the \u201cenemy\u201d only because of the barriers in language , custom , and religion . sounds like a jab at america\u2019s foreign policy , doesn\u2019t it ? even without that subtext , the film entertains and matches its fatalism ( the \u201cchosen\u201d ones are already doomed , like ti west\u2019s house of the devil or sam raimi\u2019s drag me to hell ) with a sense of cosmic justice ( the one character who is the most reasonable and cautious escapes alive ) . the shrine seems more fresh than a lot of its counterparts in modern horror . i think it\u2019s worth a look .\ni am so intrigued by ed & lorraine warren . i h . . .\ncrime scene cleaner morgan catches the eye of a young detective and they team up to solve a crime while dealing with the feelings that are growing between them .\ni confirm that this person is a friend or family member that i have an existing relationship with . for more information on how the movie network defines a friend or family member , please see our\nyou can opt -

or of his defense of booth\u2019s implied author , revisioned as detached from booth\u2019s ethical agenda . but it is also part of seymour\u2019s openness to intellectual exchange that he good naturedly enters into debate with theorists who are hostile to the project of narratology\u2014and in reading his replies to , say , \u201ccontextualist\u201d or deconstructivist attacks on the field , one appreciates how seymour gives the best account he can of what these critiques might be , even as he delineates their limits and finds new ways to reiterate the value of structuralist narratology .\nprofessor chatman received many awards and honors in his long career , including the wayne c . booth lifetime achievement award from the narrative society , as well as fulbright and guggenheim fellowships .\na celebration of the life of seymour benjamin chatman took place february 12 , 2016 in the morrison library on the berkeley campus . speakers included his former students , friends , and colleagues : emeritus professor of psychology and linguistics ;

' for the specialist in the study of narrative structure , this is a solid and very perceptive exploration of the issues salient to the telling of a story - whatever the medium . chatman , whose approach here is at once dualist and structuralist , divides his subject into the ' what ' of the narrative ( story ) and the ' way ' ( discourse ) . . . chatman ' s command of his material is impressive . '\nseymour has , happily , worked out many of his ideas through his active participation in the narrative society . he was a plenary speaker at the first official narrative conference in 1986 and appeared in the pages of the first issue of narrative . in 2003 , he helped organize the annual conference at berkeley . he has been in between and beyond a regular contributor to the society and to its journal . always moving forward , seymour\u2019s recent essay \u201cbackwards , \u201d an investigation of the narrative structure of reverse chronology narratives , appeared in narrative in 2009 .\nchatman ' s study is the only complete account of antonioni ' s work available in english . its novel visual approach to the films while attract not only film scholars but also readers interested in painting and architecture\u2014both important elements of antonioni ' s work .\none of these forms of narration is free direct speech , which is an interior monologue . this form of narration is frequently used in pride and prejudice , and chatman explains the critical features of interior monologues in five bullet points : ( p . 182 - 183 )\ncornell university press , united states , 1980 . paperback . condition : new . revised ed . . language : english . brand new book . for the specialist in the study of narrative structure , this is a solid and very perceptive exploration of the issues salient to the telling of a story - whatever the medium . chatman , whose approach here is at once dualist and structuralist , divides his subject into the what of the narrative ( story ) and the way ( discourse ) . chatman s command of his material is impressive . - library journal .\nseymour enjoyed a long teaching career in the department of rhetoric and continued to teach as a professor in the graduate school for a decade after his retirement in 1993 . reading narrative fiction ( macmillan 1993 ) detailed his teaching methods and made the study of narrative accessible to a broader audience of teachers and readers . pedagogic concerns were at the center of all his work . for seymour , the end of all the high theory was the classroom where he taught students how to read , how to take pleasure in the discovery of story and narrative strategies through analysis of small - scale and large - scale effects of language and textual meaning .\nthe latter part of this chapter discusses macroscopic plot structures . chatman argues that to form characterization of narrative forms , it is necessary to understand cultural codes , among other things . without understanding these , typologies of narratives ( for instance , propp ) must be narrow and confined to particular domains .\nwhat i appreciate most in chatman ' s study are the problem - solving activities and ambitions : again and again , he proves capable of defining areas to investigate ( the borders between narrative and other temporal genres , for example , the typography of plots , the distinctive features of foregrounding and backgrounding ) and of discussing narrative in terms of problems and solutions . when i opened the chatman volume , 1read the blurb first : ' a judicious and well - informed book , story and discourse should become the standard guide to narrative and to modern thinking about narrative . ' the blurb is right .\n\u2015gerald prince , mln\nthe evolution of the speech department into the present - day department of rhetoric with its emphasis on discourse theory and practice in many ways paralleled the intellectual trajectory of seymour\u2019s scholarly career during the nineteen sixties and seventies . although he was perhaps less involved in the administrative matters of creating a new department than in substantive intellectual ones , his role in creating vibrant , interdisciplinary fields cannot be underestimated . seymour chatman\u2019s international standing as a leading literary theorist and narratologist drew graduate students interested in newly emerging continental structuralist approaches , as well as visiting critical theorists and filmmakers . his teaching and scholarly interests eventually led to a program in film and to the current department of film and media , and certainly also contributed to the genesis of a program in critical theory . he pioneered the study of film at berkeley with his successful course \u201cnovel into film\u201d and served as faculty advisor to berkeley\u2019s first doctoral students in film , many of whom went on to establish influential film studies journals and programs at american and european universities .\nwhat i appreciate most in chatman ' s study are the problem - solving activities and ambitions : again and again , he proves capable of defining areas to investigate ( the borders between narrative and other temporal genres , for example , the typography of plots , the distinctive features of foregrounding and backgrounding ) and of discussing narrative in terms of problems and solutions . when i opened the chatman volume , 1read the blurb first : ' a judicious and well - informed book , story and discourse should become the standard guide to narrative and to modern thinking about narrative . ' the blurb is right .\n- - gerald prince , mln\nseymour\u2019s international prominence brought him many honors and awards\u2013\u2013including two fulbrights , a guggenheim fellowship , five neh fellowships , a rockefeller grant , an irex travelling fellowship to poland and russia , guest professorships at the university of zurich and the university of bologna where he was plenary lecturer at the alma mater sudiorum saecularia nona in october 1988 for the 900 th anniversary , and the university of melbourne 1991 where he was a pacific rim exchange professor .\nseymour was the editor and translator of literary style : a symposium \u2013\u2013a controversial 1971 volume of essays from an international symposium that continued an intellectual exchange begun at the 1960 indiana university conference on \u201cstyle in language . \u201d seymour conceived of the meeting and organized the event that took place in 1969 in bellagio , italy , at the rockefeller foundation\u2019s villa serbelloni . among the linguists and literary critics he invited to participate in the conversation were roman jakobson , josephine miles , pierre guiraud , rene wellek , w . k . wimsatt , jean starobinski , steven ullman , tzvetan todorov , ivan fonagy , paul zumthor , ruqaiya hasan , and roland barthes . further breakthrough symposia followed , including approaches to poetics of the 1973 english institute ; the proceedings of the first international congress on semiotics , edited with umberto eco ; and in 1981 , on narrative , a special issue of critical inquiry .\nthe process of going through a narrative and extrapolating a world from it is something chatman calls \u201creading out\u201d . this is discussed in relation to a . c . bradley ( who focused on shakespeare ) and open trait - analysis . this is the sort of thing i am doing with pride and prejudice now . this sort of analysis though has been broadly criticized for neglecting the surface features , the texture of language .\nthis book offers , for me , the most understandable model of a narrative i ' ve read so far . chatman offers helpful concepts for analyzing both written and film narratives . he tries to create a synthesis of all narrative theory before his book , and he does a very good job . instead of getting lost in a collection of different approaches , you actually find yourself connecting them all , seeing where they fit together . among all the books on narratology and narrative analysis i ' ve read , this is the one most helpful not only for analyzing film narratives but also written narratives ( although i would always recommend you also read\nnarratology : an introduction\n,\nnarrative fiction\nand perhaps bordwell and thompson ' s\nfilm art : an introduction\n, if you want to focus especially on films ) . this book and the way chatman dissects the narrative are also interesting for people more interested in writing than in analysis : i believe the parts chatman splits the narrative into resemble very closely those writers use in putting one together . so this book may actually help writers gain new insights into what they are doing instinctively . first and foremost , however , it is a very useful book for the student and scholar of literature .\nwhere an event is something that occurs in time , an existent is something that occurs in space . in cinematic narratives , this is more literal : existents are things that show up on screen and take up space on the screen . chatman gives five qualities for these : ( p . 97 - 98 ) these are ostensibly matters of presentation , but it is still a matter of the material content of the film itself .\nchatman describes extensively the filmic devices for developing cuts and scenes , and explains these in relation to the terms of narrative sequence . these have to do with the role of time in events , which have flow of rhythms and cycles . using pride and prejudice as an example , he explains how the narration is broken into phases of scene ( action ) and description . rhythm and flow are good to think about from the perspective of adaptation , because these carry the dramatic mood and experience of the narrative .\nchatman opens by comparing theory and poetics . poetics accounts for the structure of storytelling , which accounts for how to analyze form , but asks more questions than it answers . poetics is not concerned with \u201cwhat makes macbeth great ? \u201d but rather \u201cwhat makes macbeth a tragedy ? \u201d russian formalism is an instance of poetics , but it lacks the power to address more complex and modern narratives . literary theory is about the nature of literature . it is not criticism . it is about explaining what the possibilities are . instead of asking what the author should or should not do , it asks \u201cwhat can we say about the way structures like narratives organize themselves ? that question raises subsidiary ones : what are the ways we recognize the presence or absence of a narrator ? what is plot ? character ? setting ? point of view ? \u201d ( p . 19 ) these questions are chatman\u2019s goals to explore . to do this , he breaks down narrative into components : narrative is composed of story and discourse , and the story is made of events and existents . this extends loosely from aristotle .\nmuch study in narratology places character subordinate to plot , only existing to serve the plot\u2019s needs . however , the reader is free to interpret and extend the idea of the character and ask questions about them . models of characters that are merely functional are closed , where the characters cannot be extended outside the narrative space . in theories that close characters , readers are forbidden from attempting to think about characters outside of the plot . an example that characterizes this stand is o . b . hardison , who argues that characters ( specifically in the case of shakespeare ) are simply dramatic figures and their lives and personalities are restricted to the words on the page . chatman is horrified by this position and argues that it is absurd , and the reader must be free to imagine and extend the personalities , and ask questions about the characters beyond the text . an interesting element of this conflict is that the closed model of characters is intrinsically hostile to not only adaptations , but the idea that the text may belong to anyone other than the author . if the characters cannot live outside of the text , then they are simply puppets of the author , controllable by the author alone . \u00e2 chatman explains that to understand a character , it must be interpreted and reconstructed . there is always more to interpret of characters .\nchatman more elements of the interior monologue ( as stream of consciousness , or free indirect speech ) , and again relates it to pride and prejudice . elizabeth\u2019s thoughts after lady catherine leaves are revealed to us , to indicate her emotional state . chatman explains that the key reason why we are privy to this thought is as a clear narrative action . elizabeth\u2019s internal mind is a reflection of her character , and the flow of thoughts and moods are very controlled and logical . narratively , this moment is highly significant , and the moment reveals her emotions and state : perplexed , angry , and strangely hopeful . \u201cthe passage tells us , firstly that she is discomposed ; secondly , that she cannot take her mind off a visit extraordinary not only in its substance but in the urgency attached to it by lady catherine , who clearly feels that darcy may indeed act ; thirdly , that she wonders how such a rumor could have begun ; fourthly , that the fact that darcy is bingley\u2019s friend and she jane\u2019s sister must have prompted speculation about her prospects too ; and finally that the lucases have already consummated a match which she has begun to contemplate only in the privacy of her own mind . \u201d ( p . 191 ) this extrapolation , or reading out , as it were , gives a clear set of narrative events that are taking place in elizabeth\u2019s mind , but are important nonetheless .\nthis is a terrifically useful book and is quite well known in graduate student circles . i came across it randomly at a bookstore when i was searching for a good introduction to literary theory and basic concepts . this book was clear and insightful and chatman ' s presentation has since become the anchor around which i was able to read and digest all the other books that came after it . if you ' re looking for a ' way into ' literary theory concepts , this one will be very helpful . the title , story and discourse - refers to the basic distinction literary theorists make between a story ( chronological set of events ) and its narration ( chronology can be manipulated to produce various rhetorical effects such as suspense , etc ) .\nexperiencing a narrative requires interpretation , filling in the gaps . this is a crucial element in story , that it is possible for the reader to inject their own interpretations , and supply extra details and imagery to what is being read . this is interesting in the context of film and visual video games , which supply more and more visual information . chatman explains that narratives evoke a world of potential details . the text supplies some of these details , but it is up to the reader to fill in the rest . there is a range of artistic expression in narrative , as is present in painting . painting may be more or less detailed ( impressionistic works forgo detail to create expression and mood ) , likewise narrative may choose to go in or out of details at whim . narrative is never complete .\nthe idea of structure that chatman uses comes from piaget , who claims that structure contains wholeness , transformation , and self - regulation . narrative is a structure by these terms , and furthermore it is a semiotic structure . as a semiotic structure , it is divided into quadrants by expression and content , and substance and form . discourse is the expression of narrative , while content is the story . both of these have elements of substance and form . a worthwhile endeavor is to imagine what of this constitutes the world and the model . it seems like both of these are content , but what identifies the world versus the model in terms of the cultural codes , characters , and such is lest clear . the experience of reading is a part of the discourse , and it is arguable that in an adaptation project , the form of expression should be mimicked or made analogous to the source material .\nthe narrative evokes a world , and the reader is free to enrich that world . chatman\u2019s goal is to construct an open theory of character ( open in the umberto eco sense ) . the terms to be understood in characters are totality , traits , and uniqueness . traits are used to compose character and character has a range of them . a trait is a \u201crelatively stable or abiding personal quality\u201d ( p . 126 ) . characters may shift between traits over the course of a narrative , and traits may extend beyond the events of a story . the idea of traits is to develop a structural format for character identity , that is meaningful within the scope of the story world , but can also be extended beyond the story world . the notion of trait is sufficient for literary analysis , but for the purposes of procedural adaptation , it requires more formalization and detail . a character model is something that i am interested in developing , but it is not clear exactly how the process will work .\nberkeleyside is always honored to publish , at no charge , obituaries of members of the

meanings . all statements are mediated to some degree , but telling increases the degree of mediation . the range of mediation and forms of narration create a spectrum of modes between the author and the reader .\nevents make up the things that happen , and this is the content , but the arrangement of these events as presented to the reader is a matter of discourse . the presentation of sequence implicitly conveys causality . readers interpret consecutive events as causally related . the verisimilitude of events , the manner in which they are interpreted as real , is according to how the reader thinks they should be , not necessarily as they are . thus , explicit narration is only required for events which are notable or unusual . without narration , the reader is left to believe that things continue as they \u201cought to\u201d . narration thus becomes an issue of inclusion and omission . this is an interesting point because it ties back to the way in which we read or use models . although the application to formal models is difficult because common expectations are notoriously difficult to express .\nverbal and cinematic story space are different in several respects . text has much more ambiguity and freedom , and is open in terms of visual imagery , but this imagery may be suggested given the style of the narrative . conversely , cinema cannot describe things and events , it must show them . games , interestingly , are in an in - between space . they can both show and tell by making use of various interactive techniques .\nregarding character , the original model belongs to aristotle , but aristotle\u2019s approach leaves much to be desired . aristotle frames characters as having traits , but this raises contention about the primacy of the action or the character\u2019s traits : which is the cause of which ? what is the relation of the plot to the character ? formalist depictions of character treats characters as variable and interchangeable , where the only importance is their function within the story . characters are secondary or worse with respect to the plot . on the other side , henry james argues for an interdependence of character and plot .\nthe first topic on the subject of discourse is the narrative spectrum , which is largely pulled from wayne booth . the essence of this spectrum revolves around the conflict between showing and telling , or presentation versus mediated narration , or mimesis and diagesis . all of these essentially represent the same conflict between how the story is narrated and read . the importance of discourse is heightened by perspective or point of view . this is made the most prominent in film , but has always been an issue in narration . most clearly , point of view has to do with how the world is logically digested and understood . there are many forms of discourse , which rely on how the point of view is communicated . discourse may be narrated , nonnarrated , direct , soliloquy , and so on . each of these forms implies something meaningful .\nthe current discourse - moment is the same as the story - moment ; hence any predicate referring to the current moment will be in the present tense . this is not an \u201cepic present\u201d depicting past time , but rather a real present referring to contemporary time of the action . memories and other references to the past will occur in the simple preterite , not the past perfect .\nthe language\u2013idiom , diction , word - and syntactic - choice\u2013 are identifiably those of the character , whether or not a narrator intervenes .\nthere is no presumptive audience other than the thinker himself , no deference to the ignorance or expository needs of a narratee .\nthis point suggests an interesting game mechanic , though . the player might be prompted at certain points with a bubble of \u201ci think\u2026\u201d , or \u201ci feel\u2026\u201d and must fill in some thoughts , which will indicate the player

scale interventions , altered the natural surroundings around them by repositioning tons of soil and rocks or by inserting metallic elements in large areas of land .\ni had been thinking about this film for more than ten years , but the actual production took only thirteen months . the title comes from a comment germano celant made about the land artists : \u201cthey were troublemakers , confusing the marketing . in fact , they didn\u2019t have any market . not only because they were difficult , but also because people were not able to grasp them . \u201d\nmichel comte is a swiss -

( de maria and smithson are deceased . )\nset in the desolate desert spaces of the american southwest , the film unearths the history of land art during the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s . troublemakers is ultimately a story of renegades and firebrands all willing to risk their future careers on radical change and experimentation - a marked contrast to the hyper - speculative contemporary art world of today . featuring rare interviews with a veritable who ' s who of american art of the twentieth century .\na preview of new work from citizenfour oscar - winner laura poitras , the latest feature from master documentarian frederick wiseman and a film about the late nora ephron directed by her son jacob bernstein are among the 12 titles selected to screen in the spotlight on documentary section at the 53rd new york film festival , which runs from sept . 25 to oct . 11 .\ncrump believes his film could inspire today\u2019s younger artists struggling to find meaning for their work in a capitalism - on - steroids contemporary - art market for easily collectible paintings and sculpture .\nnonetheless , one of troublemakers \u2019 strongest elements is the photography of heizer\u2019s \u201cdouble negative , \u201d which now is owned by moca . in february 2014 , crump did a two - day shoot \u2014 from air and on land \u2014 of the site , and the results are engrossing .\nas well as it does its job , the movie\u2019s tone suggests a pbs program . so , too , does its brevity : the film clocks in at a leave - them - wanting - more hour and 12 minutes . some potential viewers may take this as a cue to wait for \u201ctroublemakers\u201d to turn up on television , but that would be a mistake . the film\u2019s generous views of spectacular works like smithson\u2019s monumental \u201c spiral jetty \u201d ( the work projects into the great salt lake in utah ) and mr . heizer\u2019s \u201c double negative \u201d in nevada ( a huge trench bisected by a canyon ) are best seen on the largest screen available .\nrelationships between land art , photography / film , and westward expansion are vaguely established by the documentary , but not pursued beyond suggestion . primary sources and exhibition ephemera are used as rallying points for celebrating the artists\u2019 auras rather than texts to be read within the frame of their specific time and place . the film does send a well - deserved nod to the short - lived\nthe film by james crump does something that is rare for art documentaries : it is very beautiful and dynamic itself in examining work that is challenging . it meets the subject head - on .\nbut survival is what the film is testament to . heizer ' s levitated mass took heaven and earth and a great deal of time and freeway management to arrive recently in los angeles at lacma .\nwhile troublemakers\u2019 subject concerns some of the most unique and immersive artistic environments yet created , crump , an author and editor of numerous books about artists , keeps his form comparatively pedestrian . only toward the end , during some sweeping aerial views of heizer\u2019s double negative , does the music on the soundtrack get echoey and the mood get contemplative . though one could argue that there\u2019s no point in trying to recreate the experience on film . best to rent a car , head west and see them for yourself .\ntroublemakers unearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s . the film features a cadre of renegade new york artists that sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the american southwest . today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out - sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms . the film casts these artists in a heroic light , which is exactly how they saw themselves . iconoclasts who changed the landscape of art forever , these revolutionary , antagonistic creatives risked their careers on radical artistic change and experimentation , and took on the establishment to produce art on their own terms .\non sept . 29 , the new documentary he produced and directed \u2014 troublemakers : the story of land art \u2014 had its first major public screening at the theatre at the ace hotel in downtown l . a . ; it was sponsored by l . a . \u2019s museum of contemporary art ( moca ) .\ncrump and his executive producer , cincinnati native ronnie sassoon , financed the film through their production company , summitridge pictures , before starting to sell various domestic and international distribution rights . they are also a couple .\nwith the rebels who created the works that defined it . it is important to me that a new generation of much younger artists rediscover these troublemakers in order to fully realize that making art is not simply for the market and that celebrity or net worth are a rather inadequate justification for a career in the visual arts .\ncrump and the film\u2019s producer , ronnie sassoon , will make a live appearance at the tucson screening and do a q & a afterward . a reception follows with hors d\u2019oeuvre and a cash bar . the film , being shown in limited release , screens only once in tucson , at 7 p . m . on saturday , nov . 28 . the $ 12 tickets include the movie , panel discussion and reception . purchase online via\nthe film opens in los angeles friday february 5th and can be seen in other cities in the next month . director james crump will be doing a q and a following the 7 : 20 screening at the laemmle monica .\nother titles that have been selected include the world premiere of james solomon \u2019s the witness , a reconsideration of the fatal stabbing of kitty genovese in queens , new york in 1964 , and james crump \u2019s troublemakers : the story of land art , which tells of the \u201860s and \u201870s artists who made art out of the landscapes of the american southwest .\nthe film comes at a time when the notion of preservation of federal lands is under siege . the film provides a counterpoint to preservation , as the works do change the landscape and though art lovers are thrilled , i ' m not sure that the guys who took a federal preserve hostage in oregon last month would see these artist ' s work as any more important than their cattle and perhaps as pesky as the coyotes and foxes they ' re keen to annihilate .\nmr . crump does a terrific job of detailing the aesthetic and intellectual motivations of this loose movement : concern for the environment , continuation of the \u201cwhat is art ? \u201d inquiries of earlier 20th - century forms and disillusionment with galleries and with the art scene in general . this film provides short but satisfying sketches of intriguing individuals like the artists robert smithson , walter de maria , michael heizer , charles ross , nancy holt and the arts patron virginia dwan . the relative isolation in which these artists worked makes them seem more maverick iconoclasts than actual \u201ctroublemakers , \u201d but it\u2019s not my title to choose .\ncontrary to the photography of land art in books and magazines , ( and some indications in the film ) most of those artworks are very much meant to be experienced from the ground , and i always prefer seeing them from the ground .\ntwo of the artworks produced by the 1970s rebel land art movement are in new mexico . a new documentary film that describes the international art movement and the artists of that era is scheduled to screen thursday ( may 5 ) in taos .\naccording to an online synopsis , the film \u201cunearths the history of land art in the tumultuous late 1960s and early 1970s . the film features a cadre of renegade new york artists that sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing earthworks on a monumental scale in the desolate desert spaces of the american [ southwest ] . today these works remain impressive not only for the sheer audacity of their makers but also for their out - sized ambitions to break free from traditional norms .\n\u201cthe film casts these artists in a heroic light , which is exactly how they saw themselves . iconoclasts who changed the landscape of art forever , these revolutionary , antagonistic creatives risked their careers on radical artistic change and experimentation , and took on the establishment to produce art on their own terms . the film includes rare footage and interviews which unveil the enigmatic lives and careers of storied artists robert smithson ( \u2019spiral jetty\u2019 ) , walter de maria ( \u2019the lightning field\u2019 ) and michael heizer ( \u2019double negative\u2019 ) . \u201d\n\u201cearthworks are an older tradition than oil painting , going back 3 , 000 years , \u201d the artist carl andre observes late in \u201c troublemakers : the story of land art , \u201d a cogent , brisk , sometimes thrilling documentary written and directed by james crump . more than a couple of shots of stonehenge turn up as supporting evidence for that claim . mr . crump\u2019s film , though , is mostly concerned with a group of american artists who , in the early 1960s , began not just working with natural materials for their pieces but also went out into the open , sometimes arid , spaces in north america to mold or scar , or both , the land itself .\n\u201ctroublemakers\u201d points out that \u201cland art was rife with contradiction and conflict , a site where architecture , landscape , sculpture , technology , archaeology and photography would all converge . against the backdrop of the vietnam war , cold war anxieties and other political uncertainties of the nuclear age , land artists often subscribed to a dystopian view of the future that questioned the military - industrial complex , consumerism and the banalities of modern life and culture .\ntroublemakers points out that land art was rife with contradiction and conflict , a site where architecture , landscape , sculpture , technology , archaeology and photography would all converge . against the backdrop of the vietnam war , cold war anxieties and other political uncertainties of the nuclear age , land artists often subscribed to a dystopian view of the future that questioned the military - industrial complex , consumerism and the banalities of modern life and culture .\nin the film , crump explores why land art happened when it did \u2014 the tumultuous 1960s \u2014 as well as why it has continued to fascinate . \u201cthe artists were responding to all those issues of the time , \u201d crump says . \u201cthere were the assassinations , the protests , vietnam , space travel .\ncrump\u2019s new film chronicles the pivotal early years , 1968 -

directed with his husband nuno leonel , about small - scale fisherman in the azorean island of rabo de peixe .\na first - person trip through a moment when artists hoped to demolish the commercial gallery system by bending the earth itself to their will , building their own geological formations and surgically altering those nature made , james crump ' s troublemakers finds the personalities that thrust land art ( or earth art , or earthworks , take your pick ) into the public arena in the late 60s . full of insider interviews but accessible to the casual art fan , the doc should be well received in niche markets after its nyff bow .\n5 . crumb ( 1994 ) occupying the unusual space between underground comics and fine art , r . crumb is one of the most pioneering illustrators in contemporary culture . through interviews with the illustrator\u2019s family , ex - girlfriends and contemporaries , the film examines how the artist\u2019s complexities and talents influences his satirical , sexualized , and often disturbing drawings .\nas with all artistic movements , it is hard to know where the boundaries lie and whose work is or isn\u2019t considered land art \u2013 but crump\u2019s film focuses primarily on three men : robert smithson , walter de maria and michael heizer . forget dawn of justice \u2013 this is the best superhero team - up we\u2019ll see at the cinema this year .\ncrump , an art historian who also made the 2007 film black white + gray : a portrait of sam wagstaff and robert mapplethorpe , put his access to rare footage and interviews to good use , especially shots of works in progress , creating a fast - paced , engaging film . but the documentary is at its best when it ' s setting the scene , explaining how the counter - cultural tide of the late ' 60s and the era ' s questioning of any and all authority , as well as the nascent birth of the environmental movement , led a cadre of new york artists to buck the establishment and , in a move as much machismo as manifesto , set out west to the desert .\nthe film , using new and archival footage and interviews , also teaches about some of the patrons and advocates of land art , like gallerist virginia dwan \u2014 who funded \u201cdouble negative\u201d and \u201cspiral jetty\u201d \u2014 and willoughby sharp , who curated a 1969 show called earth art at cornell university and co -

ton granite boulder has been prominently displayed outside the los angeles county museum of art . the film tells the story of the conception , transport , and installation this highly unusual , controversial , and complex $ 10 million artwork , and shows how it was masterminded from start to finish .\njames crump , who directed the 2007 documentary black white + gray which focused on the relationship between curator and collector sam wagstaff and artist robert mapplethorpe , states : \u201cthe story needed to be told now , with the express intention of retrieving the spirit of land art , with the rebels who created the works that defined it . it is important to me that a new generation of much younger artists rediscover these troublemakers in order to fully realize that making art is not simply for the market and that celebrity or net worth are a rather inadequate justification for a career in the visual arts . \u201d\ndwan isn\u2019t the only woman to get some screen time . nancy holt , who was married to smithson , develops into an artist of great merit , but her early role was , as weiner eloquently puts it , being an essential part of the stew . as with so many bold art movements , its origins were energetic people hanging out , talking , drinking and trading ideas during a turbulent time . luckily , holt made a name for herself with her piece sun tunnels , but troublemakers touches on the often overlooked point that there are frequently very important people in the artistic process whose name never gets in the museums .\n6 . herb and dorothy ( 2008 ) the incredible true story of herb and dorothy vogel , a postal worker and librarian that lived in a rent - control apartment on new york\u2019s upper east side who built a world - class collection by buying small and medium - sized works by superstar artists before they were famous . the film demonstrates that if the passion is strong enough you don\u2019t have to be rich to collect great art .\n3 . renoir\u2014 revered and reviled ( 2016 ) this film tells the story of one of the most influential artists of all time who helped create and embraced impressionism , only to reject it and move into a completely different artistic direction . told through the lens of the barnes collection in philadelphia , which owns more pierre - auguste renoir works than any other institution , the documentary reveals the life and times of pablo picasso \u2019s favorite artist .\n4 . painters painting\u2014the new york art scene : 1940 - 70 ( 1973 ) the documentary unravels and explains how the creative critical mass in new york between 1940 and 1970 gave birth to the city\u2019s now legendary art scene . focusing on the period between 1940 and 1970 , the film shows a collection of interviews with the key players that shaped the scene examining not only the artists but also the museum directors , critics , and gallerists .\n10 . the jeff koons show ( 2004 ) a documentary of the life and work of jeff koons , one of the most significant and divisive artists of our time , is in order . the film traces the artist\u2019s rise and how he became one of the most dominant cultural voices of his generation , told from the perspective of koons himself , along with curators , gallerists and fellow artists including chuck close , julian schnabel and others .\n\u201ci felt i wanted to make this film because of the nature of where we are today , where things are so hyper - speculative , \u201d he says . \u201cit would be real interesting to retrieve the spirit of these ( land art ) artists and hopefully create something that allows for a younger generation to rediscover them and what drove them . for me , that\u2019s a kind of antidote to some of the things happening in today\u2019s art market . \u201d\nthrough interviews and photos , crump susses out the appeal of moving boulders and dirt with massive construction machinery . vintage pix show walter de maria posing wittily with the epic lines he inscribed in the ground ; present - day footage swoops above and treks into double negative , the trenches heizer dug into a pair of nevada mesas . the latter work gets so much screen time it almost counts , as they say of manhattan in romantic comedies , as a character in the film .\na lot of the principal characters are sadly no longer around . i wanted to focus on artists who were supported by virginia dwan and heiner friedrich . at one point i was interested in going beyond the formative period and telling the story of the construction of michael heizer \u2019s city , 1972\u2013 , but i quickly realized that might be too antagonizing to heizer . if you\u2019re an artist trying to complete a work , the last thing you want is to reveal it prematurely . i chose not to interview so - called experts , as i wanted to make it a film about the people who were present then and doing the heavy lifting\u2014dwan , carl andre , lawrence weiner . i met with friedrich twice but he would never agree to go on camera or to even have a microphone . i would have interviewed willoughby sharp had he been around . dennis oppenheim and nancy holt play a role in the film as well . these three artists who ended up coming across most forcefully were indeed the true titans of this new genre .\nlife in a turkish old folks home is ostensibly the subject of shevaun mizrahi\u2019s film , but that is only the entry point into this beautifully layered observational documentary . the residents spend their days taking elevator rides to nowhere , and remembering better , more interesting days . one elderly man recounts the parisian sex parties of his youth , while another talks about his glory days as a photographer . meanwhile , just outside the windows of the facility , progress gallops along , fed by the relentless pace and appetite for development .\nthe film ' s images are thrilling and majestic . anyone who has driven through the west ( and you must drive - - though the work is also designed to be seen from the air ) understands the overwhelming sense of the endless horizon , the scrub , the heat , the canyons , the layers of history . though some claimed this sense of perspective came from duchamp it is hard to travel from his readymades to the scale of the spiral nebulas and giant cuts formed from millennia of rock formations .\nmy new brush is my caterpillar\nsaid de maria .\nsome of these sites are overlooked , and that was part of my interest . double negative , near overton , nevada , is an important early heizer work about which a lot will be written and said in the future . la moca owns it and never paid any attention to it until the recent hire of director philippe vergne . i believe that the museum will eventually see it as a kind of satellite , much like how dia views spiral jetty and the lightning field as part of its mission . if the film contributes to this , i will be very pleased .\nthrough rare footage , new aerial views on their most iconic works in california , nevada , new mexico and utah and interviews with artists such as vito acconci , carl andre , walter de maria , michael heizer , nancy holt , dennis oppenheim , charles ross , robert smithson and lawrence weiner , direct witnesses to their artistic efforts such as germano celant , paula cooper , virginia dwan , gianfranco gorgoni , pamela sharp , willoughby sharp and harald szeemann , the film aims to highlight the rebellious , heroic and iconoclastic character of these pioneers who challenged the artistic conventions of their times .\nfeaturing germano celant , walter de maria , michael heizer , dennis oppenheim , robert smithson , nancy holt , vito acconci , virginia dwan , charles ross , paula cooper , willoughby sharp , pamela sharp , lawrence weiner , carl andre , gianfranco gorgoni and harald szeemann . running time 72 minutes . summitridge pictures and rsjc llc present a film by james crump . produced by james crump . executive producer ronnie sassoon . producer farley ziegler . producer michel comte . edited by nick tamburri . cinematography by alex themistocleous and robert o\u2019haire . sound design gary gegan and rick ash . written and directed by james crump .\nof course , the gargantuan pieces under discussion in this film aren\u2019t really for museums . ( though key exhibitions at dwan\u2019s gallery in new york , an event at cornell university and a later , less successful event in bern are all discussed in great detail . ) these are works that are meant to be the next great serpent mound or stonehenge , and when you get to hear devoted critics speak passionately ( be it willoughby sharp in archival footage or germano celant today ) one is quickly convinced that future generations of pilgrims will indeed head to the american desert like they do to the great churches of europe .\nmy new brush is a caterpillar .\nit ' s a suitably brash , bold statement that gels with the theme of director james crump ' s documentary on the land art movement , troublemakers . by directing a lens\u2014a wide - angle one\u2014on a movement that sought to remove artwork from galleries and reshape both the landscape and the commercial aspects of the art world , crump doesn ' t just bring attention to the personalities and patrons behind these massive non - commercial works . by putting the cultural confluences and anti - establishment fervor in focus , he asks important questions about which , if any , artists are willing to take the kinds of risks that created such massive earthen sculptures . in a post - hirst era of hyper speculation in the art world , who has the patience ( and funding ) to fashion a spiral of earth in the middle of a lake , like robert smithson , create a massive city in the desert , like michael heizer , or reshape a volcanic crater , like james turrell ?\nthere\u2019d be no point in not glamorising these renegade artists , but crump does a good job of keeping them human . commentary from living contemporaries ( among them , artist lawrence weiner , whose dulcet tones , muppet - esque beard and compassionate attitude make him among the world\u2019s finest interview subjects ) remind us that after the flash of inspiration , the 99 % of perspiration is more keenly felt with large scale projects like these . there is also no pussyfooting around that most gauche of subject : dough . gallery owner and 3m heiress virginia dwan , interviewed in the film , had her chequebook out during land art\u2019s halcyon days , and that\u2019s how everyone stayed fed . no scotch tape , no spiral jetty .\nnorway ' s munch museum hosts a cocktail reception to announce the inaugural winner of the edward munch art award on friday , december 4 , 8 to 10 p . m . , in the shelborne wyndham grand hotel ( 1801 collins avenue , south beach ) . rsvp required . the event is co -

clumsy at times . ending : i hope this isn\u2019t what really happened .\nthe film basically consists of two intertwined strands , the first dealing with lee su - yon\u2019s romance with an emerging japanese musician yuri , played by ex - high and mighty color lead singer , maakii , while the other is a larger analysis of japan\u2019s attitude towards koreans living in the country from a number of different viewpoints . certainly the film is at its strongest when it\u2019s dealing with the latter . from my own point of view as a westerner that doesn\u2019t know much about this very specific case of ethnic tension between koreans and japanese , the exposition is both eye - opening and commendable .\nthe romantic aspect of the story is adequate , but not brilliant . there\u2019s enough weight to the relationship that it makes sense , but there\u2019s simply not enough to the characters , particularly of su - yon , to leave an impression . the characterization of su - yon , the main character , is easily the achilles\u2019 heel of the movie . simply put , he\u2019s portrayed as bland , without interesting flaws or much personality , but with enough na\u00efve wisdom to have the perfect piece of advice for every troubled person he encounters ( which often challenges believability ) . yuri is fortunately much more interesting ; obstinate and principled ( she has one of the best scenes in the film when she throws a glass of water at an obnoxious record producer ) , she laments the breakup of her family and her strained relationship with her racist , besieged father , and the similarities she sees between the two of them .\nher father , played by takenaka naoto , is another noteworthy character , but his irrational attitude towards koreans is never fully explained outside of the ambiguous suggestion that it was borne out of a failed business deal . considering the primary contention of the film , that the racial tension is a warped consequence of a larger societal apathy ( the history between the two countries is mostly treated as secondary and not thoroughly explained , taken , i assume , as largely understood by the audience ) , they missed a great opportunity to really say something about this particular character in his unique position at the centre of both primary aspects of the movie , ie , the romance and the social commentary .\nthe korean policy of mandatory military service was briefly addressed , but nothing of consequence was said in this scene , which made me wonder why it was brought up at all . the movie also has some shocking pacing ( the entire first half could have been compressed into thirty minutes ) and gets quite heavy and clumsy with its drama . the final decisions some of the characters came to , particularly yuri and her father , struck me as rather insensitive . there\u2019s just enough worthwhile stuff in this film to make it watchable , and while i\u2019m not quite so cynical ( operative word being \u201cquite\u201d ) as to suggest that it was little more than a vehicle for maakii \u2019s career , i do think several things could have been handled far better , not least of which included its respect to the memory of the departed whose story its supposedly based on .\nin january 2001 , a south korean student named lee su - hyun was waiting for the subway in tokyo when a japanese man fell on the tracks . lee and another japanese man jumped onto the rails in an attempt to get him out of the way before an oncoming train reached the station . sadly , they were unsuccessful and all three men were killed .\nonce in tokyo , his love of rock music draws him to japan\u2019s thriving live music scene . while watching street performances , he meets and falls for yuri , an aspiring japanese singer with a powerful voice but a troubled family life . yuri ( played by j - pop singer maki onaga ) is in constant conflict with her divorced father , a bitter man who owns a small run - down rock club .\nthe majority of the film revolves around su - hyun and yuri as their relationship grows from mutual curiosity to friendship and finally romance . su - hyun becomes an anchor for yuri , helping to get her music and family life in order , and providing her with the support and love she needs .\nas may be expected , the film goes out of its way to cast su - hyun in an idealized light . athletic , popular and good with the guitar , su - hyun is portrayed as an extremely well - adjusted young man with strong family values and a firm sense of morality ; there are several scenes in which he steps in to help someone in trouble .\nin addition , the movie carefully establishes su - hyun\u2019s korean identity with scenes of korean - style family meals , ancestral rituals and traditional music performances . while perhaps providing a cultural context for japanese moviegoers , these idealized moments also serve to show su - hyun as being deeply rooted in tradition , a trait that his modernized japanese friends sorely lack .\nindeed , there is an implied criticism of japanese society in presenting su - hyun in such a heroic and stereotypical fashion . particularly in scenes that highlight japanese prejudice towards koreans , director junji hanado seems to accuse his country of losing touch with important moral and traditional values still upheld by fine korean men such as su - hyun .\ni definitely won\u2019t want to miss this if it\u2019s showing on our local cinemas .\nthe plot reminds me of virgin snow and taiyou no uta . i want to watch it .\nhello it is test . winrar provides the full rar and zip file support , can decompress cab , gzip , ace and other archive formats . rqnulpwigvclhpvtjntodvsqifajouthhsahello\ni already watch this i love the story he\u2019s such a hero and a role model in all of us and how he changes the impact in both korean\u2019s and japanese in their own issue\u2019s in the past .\nnice review . amazing story . good but sad movie . my review here : urltoken\nit\u2019s truly very complicated in this busy life to listen news on tv , so i simply use internet for that reason , and get the most up - to - date information .\n' bof ' jang ja yeon commits suicide . . . last phonecall ,\ni want to die\nhumilating seo taiji cf , young girl :\ni ' m a seo taiji fan . who are you uncle ?\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\njourney of military school graduate student soo - hyun ( lee taesung ) , who travels from korea to japan for further education . he meets yuri ( makii ) . as both share similar interests in music , they become closer while dealing with language and racial barriers .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nthe film is based on a true story , soo - hyun ( lee taesung ) travels from korea , studying in japan he meets yuri ( high and mighty color ' s lead singer , maakii ) . both share similar interests in music and sports as they become closer while dealing with language and racial barriers .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\n/ / urltoken\nby joon soh contributing writer in january 2001 , a south korean student named lee su - hyun was waiting for the subway in tokyo when a japanese man fell on the tracks . lee and another japanese man j , . . .\nnew actor lee tae - sung has seen his popularity growing in japan with the release of his movie there entitled\n, . . .\nactor lee tae - sung and singer hong kyung - min will hold a film concert in tokyo on ja , . . .\ncomment policy - stay on topic and do not spam . - post only in english , as this is an english language community . - do not request or mention illegal download / streaming services . - do not post sexist , racist , homophobic or other hateful and discriminatory content . - refrain from abusive language . - no graphic content allowed . - respect the right of other users to share their opinion . arguments are welcome , fights are not . comments which break the rules will be moderated or erased . repeated rule breaking will result in warnings followed by blacklisting upon non - compliance .\nsubscribe to hancinema pure to remove ads from the website ( not > for episode and movie videos ) for us $ 0 . 99 monthly or us $ 7 . 99 yearly ( you can cancel anytime ) . the first step is to be a member , please click here : sign up , then a subscribe button will show up .\nonce in tokyo , his love of rock music draws him to japan ' s thriving live music scene . while watching street performances , he meets and falls for yuri , an aspiring japanese singer with a powerful voice but a troubled family life . yuri ( played by j - pop singer maki onaga ) is in constant conflict with her divorced father , a bitter man who owns a small run - down rock club .\nin addition , the movie carefully establishes su - hyun ' s korean identity with scenes of korean - style family meals , ancestral rituals and traditional music performances . while perhaps providing a cultural context for japanese moviegoers , these idealized moments also serve to show su - hyun as being deeply rooted in tradition , a trait that his modernized japanese friends sorely lack ."]}

city gangs that raise their industrial pipes and flick their switchblades and go on a tribal - war rampage as easily as they rap or wax poetic about their city , their personal aspirations and frustrations , like the minstrels of more bucolic , less violent times .\nlibiran thoroughly knows his geography . his tondo reeks of the true effluent of human sewage , pulsing with the din and blare of its noise and confusion , to the howl of animals led to their slaughter in vitas . but amid the racket are also humanity and tenderness , as shown by the warm interaction during family dinners of the gang members .\nthis is tondo in all its singeing but lyrical heights , in all its ballast and flare . housewives pounce on a meralco inspector , who uses binoculars to read the meters perched on extraordinary heights beyond human tampering , to protest high power rates . gangs foster fellowship though the brutality of hazing and the camaraderie of drinking sessions . they celebrate life in and out of season , even as they seem bent on a bloodbath for the killing season . there\u2019s no let - up to life and passion .\nbut alas , their passion is inexorably a bloodlust . even when they take part in the pagan revelry that characterizes the feast of the santo nino , a celebration of the child jesus in his infancy and budding promise , the gangs can\u2019t help but be drawn to crucifying one another in the golgotha of the streets , snuffing out one another\u2019s lives with one whack of machetes and ice - picks , one angry eruption of their improvised shotguns . for all of their death wish , one wonders how they could have reached their young adulthood at all . or why they have to reach this far only for them to cut each other to pieces .\nlibiran seems to imply that even if they\u2019re hell - bent on gory deaths , these gangs have the fire of art and poetry\u2014their rap - verses not only scorching protest songs of the inhumanity of their condition , but also assays at creation that are some sort of a reverse affirmation of life . much like the old vendor of \u201cpagpag , \u201d leftover fried chicken scavenged from the garbage dump that\u2019s dusted off ( \u201cpagpag\u201d literally means to dust off the dirt ) for another frying and selling ; he recites grand verses to sell his recycled goods\u2014his poetic lines endowing his dumped and dead chicken with new life ."]}

freedom fighters , directed by ketan mehta and written by noted playwright vijay tendulkar .\nthe shattered photographs of sardar and dust on it , that is also a significant symbol of lost memories of sardar .\nthe film was screened retrospective on august 12 , 2016 at the independence day film festival jointly presented by the indian directorate of film festivals and ministry of defense ,

festivals and ministry of defense , commemorating 70th indian independence day . see more \u00bb\nthe film has used flashback and documentary techniques with real footages and newspaper articles , it can be consider as a biopic on the life of sardar vallbhbhai patel . all evidence related to the events is there . in the film viewer can observe the larger than life image of sardar patel , and all other characters like nehru and mahatma gandhi are downplayed .\nhe is the son of director veeru devgan , is a stunt choreographer and action film director and his mother , veena , is a film producer . devgan\u2019s brother , anil devgan , is a hindi , film director . in 1991 , devgan began his professional career in phool aur kaante against madhoo .\nabhay was the hindi adaptation of aalavandhan ( a 2001 tamil film ) which also starred kamal hassan .\nin the scene of violence towards hindus in direct action plan by jinha we can observe that there were fire all around and in the centre of it there were sardar and victims of this action plan were craving for help towards sardar , so we can say that country was burning and only hope was sardar . even after the independence most of party members have selected sardar as the prime minister but because of jawaharlal nehru sardar patel has taken his foot back and allowed nehru to be the prime minister .\nsardar patel was very much in favour nonviolence , but when muslim and jinnah has started direct action plan , he quit the idea of being non violent and sufferer . sardar can be considered more practical man in comparison of gandhi and nehru . very effective convincing power we can observe in sardar , the way he convince gandhi by saying that ,\nthis biographical epic on sardar patel concentrates largely on the last five years of sradars life from 1945 to 1950 when he strode on the national scene , a key figure in wresting indias independence and integrating the nation . the film deals with all the myriad and debilitating problems that india faced in its pre and immediate post independence period , which turned out to be sardar patels finest hour when problem after monumental problem was solved by sardar patel . this film is a tribute to the sardars inestimable contribution to the making of free india , a memory that can stead to face the problems of india today and tomorrow .\nat the end of the movie when gandhiji died , his dead body becomes a symbol of friendship or we can say reunion of sardar and nehru and at the end , after plan crash sardar is sitting in free india from kashmir to kanya kumari .\nthe symbolism of three monkeys has shown in the film as a deep psyche of sardar and nehru and its effect on gandhi . in the scenes of conversations of gandhi with sardar and nehru we could see the focus of camera is first upon white statues of three monkeys and when there are arguments between these three characters we could see the colour of statue is black . it is a deep archetypal symbolism of colour .\nby watching the film we come to know about various fact of sardar and how he was a person and as a freedom fighter . we can see two different personalities of him , as a person he was against gandhi before he met him and abusing him but after one meeting with gandhi he became follower of gandhi .\nthe starting of the movie is very significant , the very first scene is of an office of press , where the reporters are discussing about the condition of nation after independence ; where people wanted old days of britishraj back , and thinking that whatever freedom fighters have done is of no use . in another scene we can see that the photographs of sardar patel are shattered on the floor and they are collecting the photographs as if they are collecting the old memories and their lost identity among people and they decides to make film on sardar patel .\najay devgan is a noted indian bollywood actor , film director , and producer . he is widely considered as one of the most popular actors of hindi cinema who has appeared in over a hundred hindi films .\nthe film , which is about the last five years of the indian leader subhas chandra ' s life , also includes his life ' s story in flashback sequences . however , it does not cover the controversy surrounding bose ' s death .\nthe difference between the two movies may lie in the plot and the fact that vince vaughn ' s sperm donations amounted to a total of 533 kids being born as compared to ayyushman ' s 53 ( guess vince is more fertile ) . but the basic idea of the film , sperm donation , has been inspired by vicky donor .\ntill now ajay acted in 107 movies . in his acting career , ajay\u2019s hits are 13 , semi - hits are 26 , flops are 30 and disasters are 14 . his biggest blockbusters are rajneeti and golmaal 3 . also , devgan owns a production company ajay devgn films which was established in 2000 . in 2008 he debuted as a film director with \u201cu me aur hum\u201d .\nthe sardar\u2019s colleague jagjivan ram had not been so fortunate . he was seriously injured in a boac airliner\u2019s crash in iran shortly before independence in which several people were killed . so he was the only cabinet minister who was unable to attend the independence celebrations on august 15 , 1947 . a brief account of the crash is here ( though it does not mention his name ) :\nfootnote : the maharaja of patiala was one of the passengers on the sardar\u2019s aircraft . earlier , as yuvraj of patiala , he had played one test match for india in 1933 - 34 scoring a fifty . he would have played more tests for india if he was not actively involved in politics . his son captain amarinder singh , continues to be an important force in punjab\u2019s politics .\na little known fact about sardar patel : he had a little adventure when his plane force - landed near shahpura about 65 km north of jaipur on march 29 , 1949 where he was going to attend the inauguration of the new state of rajasthan . he and the other occupants of the aircraft were unhurt , but his whereabouts were not known for a few hours until he reappeared in jaipur . the other passengers included his daughter maniben and the maharaja of patiala .\nan amazing movie on an indian politician , which is probably better than gandhi by sir attenborough . paresh rawal , always a brilliant actor , was outstanding in this movie . the subtleties of politics at that time , the characterization and the attention to minute details makes it a gripping movie from the start to the end . yes , probably every aspect of sardar ' s life was not covered but then it would be unrealistic to do so in a movie . the movie tries to portray the strong political will of the great man , especially during the biggest crisis state of indian history , the partition , and succeeds in it . his quick decisiveness , his ability to convince congress , his differences with nehru on almost all major issues , are all lucidly elaborated and well executed . the movie game me goosebumps , that such a strong man indeed existed on earth . sardar patel was responsible for shaping india as we currently know if . if only he was india ' s first prime minister ( sigh ) . all in all , a must watch for all indians , current politicians included !\nit is 1993 and 21 - year - old lance armstrong ( ben foster ) is making his debut in the tour de france . the sunday times journalist , david walsh ( chris o\u2019dowd ) interviews the young lance over a game of table football . lance is determined and hugely self - confident , as well as extremely competitive . chatting with his press colleagues afterwards , david tells them how cocky lance was . when they ask if he is a contender , david says he absolutely is \u2013 in the one day classic races . on the starting line at a belgian one day race , johan bruyneel ( denis menochet ) tells the young upstart lance that he will never win as others have more red cells in their blood \u2013 they are doping . the race plays out as bruyneel predicted . meanwhile in a lecture hall , dr michele ferrari ( guillaume canet ) is learning about trials of the drug epo . during the race , lance watches hopelessly as three members of one team drop everybody else and easily finish in the top three places . at the lecture , ferrari asks about the use of epo in sport , but is told that would be unethical . ferrari shrugs . at the belgian race press conference , ferrari is on stage with the winners , a member of their team . questioned as to problems with the use of epo , he once again dismisses all concerns . lance tries to convince his hesitant teammate frankie andreu ( edward hogg ) that they have to use epo to be in with a chance . lance approaches ferrari and tells him he wants to join his \u201cprogram\u201d , but the doctor dismisses him telling him that he doesn\u2019t have the right physique to be a good climber . lance buys epo for his team at a pharmacy in switzerland . a year later , back at the belgian one day classic , it is now lance dropping the peloton and winning the race by a huge margin . however after the celebrations , lance starts to cough up blood . his doctor diagnoses testicular cancer , at the third , and final , stage . treatment begins and lance is subjected to gruelling rounds of surgery and chemotherapy . he pushes himself even when at his lowest and tries to walk down the hospital corridor , but collapses into a wheelchair .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nan account of

decides to immerse himself in the freedom struggle , and created awareness in the entire state of gujarat so much so that he was considered eligible for the position of the first prime minister of an independent india . but when the congress working committee supported jawarhal nehru , vallabhai bowed out amidst intense debate on the creation of pakistan by mohammad ali jinnah of the muslim league . while mohandas was not inclined to endorse any move to partition india , mountbatten , the british viceroy , along with jawarharlal , vallabhai , and others were in favor of partitioning india and allowing jinnah to create two pakistan , one each on the borders of rajastan and bengal respectively , in order to prevent any bloodshed . . . .\n4 of 4 people found this review helpful . was this

inspired by hollywood movies . but did you know that this happens the other way around as well ? here is a list of 10 hollywood flicks that were inspired by bollywood films :\nchandran rutnam had to cast academy award winner ben kingsley to pull off naseeruddin shah ' s character from a wednesday . yes , a common man is not just inspired but is an official remake of neeraj pandey ' s masterpiece .\napart from the name ( direct translation ) and the love triangle , the epic scene of the stalker , shahrukh khan , carving k - k - k - kiran ' s name on his chest has also been adapted by james foley in his american thriller , fear .\nwell the best friend may not be a tapori as portrayed by aamir khan , but the basic plot of the movie is a girl caught in a love triangle between her best friend and a movie star .\nthough the plot differs , this famous thriller by quentin tarentino had action sequences which he himself told anurag kashyap were inspired by the kamal hassan - starrer abhay .\npearl harbor was less about pearl harbor but more about a romantic love triangle between two best friends and a girl . plots for both movies are fairly similar and the only difference between the two movies was that sangam had only one friend as a pilot whereas its hollywood counterpart had both .\nthe makers of leap year claimed the movie was not inspired by jab we met . but why don ' t you decide for yourself ? a bubbly , highly - talkative girl on her way to propose to her boyfriend meets a stranger and shares a hotel room with him . they fall in love , get separated but eventually re - unite and get married .\njennifer aniston = sushmita sen & adam sandler = salman khan . yes , that does not really add up , but the basic plots of both movies are very similar .\nboth these movies were inspired by cactus flower ( 1969 ) but with a different storyline .\nwe are all aware that the bollywood movie partner is said to be a copy of hitch . but it looks like hitch itself was inspired by the plot of chhoti si baat where a guy who fails to woo a girl takes help of a man who makes it his profession to help people with similar problems .\nthe last gun makers of longding : an inside story | scoopwhoop presents chase ep . 3\nas he recovers , frankie and his wife betsy ( elaine cassidy ) visit lance in hospital . a doctor arrives for a consultation , and lance tells his friends to stay . lance makes a slow but determined recovery . he travels to ferrara , italy , to the home of dr ferrari . through his illness , he has lost the weight required of him and ferrari is convinced enough by his will to win to take him on . he subjects lance to a huge range of tests , analysis and training exercises so that he is no longer \u2018confined by the limits of his physiology\u2019 and lance reaches peak fitness , getting to grips with some of the substances and doping methods which would propel his career forward along the way . during this time , the so - called \u2018festina affair\u2019 has erupted after a team soigneur has been caught with performance enhancing drugs . this has led to police raids across the tour and the discovery that drug use is rife . ferrari and armstrong laugh at them for getting caught . lance brings bruyneel on board as director , explaining that following his illness the only team that would take him are the very minor us postal team . bruyneel says that they have to go out to win , and lance says that after his cancer he never wants to come so close to losing again . lance , bruyneel and ferrari head up the team\u2019s rigorous training programme , at altitude .\nlance reunites with agent bill stapleton ( lee pace ) who had spotted lance\u2019s commercial potential before he got sick . bill now sees an ever more potent story , especially when lance passionately announces that he wants to start a cancer charity . 4 it is 1999 . david in his press car banters about whether this year really is to be rebranded the tour of renewal , after last year\u2019s drugs farce . they say that armstrong has risen from the dead and as an early supporter david says that he really thinks lance can win a stage . there is jubilation when lance does win the opening stage . david writes about the ensuing mountain stage . wearing the winner\u2019s yellow jersey , lance starts to attack on the galibier climb ; he breaks away with tremendous power leaving the peloton far below . there is excitement in the press room . david alone is silent . lance reaches the finish in sestriere way ahead of the peloton . his previous best in the mountains was 39th . david reminds his colleagues about last year\u2019s doping scandal and that the speeds have gone up this year , but they don\u2019t listen . they reply that the racers wouldn\u2019t be able to hide it . david retorts that lance rode so fast up the steep mountain that he had to use his brakes . he talks to a young rider who , according to his physiology , should be faster than lance and who shares his own suspicions with david . lance then seeks out this young rider and warns him off .\nin the 2003 tour , lance achieves his fifth win . lance is still surreptitiously meeting ferrari , although ferrari has now been found guilty and banned from sports and medical practice . cyclist felippo simeoni has testified against him , so lance approaches him during the next stage and blatantly threatens to destroy him . floyd watches on with increasing discomfort , but lance is not to be deterred . the team have now become blas\u00e9 about their doping : their bus pulls over on a pyrenean roadside for them to hook up to drips in the midst of the cavalcade . only floyd is becoming increasingly uneasy . 5 the uci call a meeting with lance to discuss an epo test . the official appears anxious as he tells lance that the test was borderline but not conclusive . stapleton and lance are obviously not happy but lance seems calm , he says that he will leave it to them to do what is best for the sport . lance prepares for a press conference anticipating the inevitable question about doping . once on stage , he is steely eyed and defensive . he reiterates his mantra that he has never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs . david is in the room and probes lance about the image of cycling and his association with a doctor so heavily embroiled in doping . lance puts him down and dismisses these challenges , telling them all that they all have to fall back in love with cycling .\nfloyd watches on from the back of the room . later he confronts bruyneel about the drugs and about the untouchable lance with his \u201ccancer shield\u201d . unperturbed , bruyneel tells floyd that he can always leave . betsy has now heard about david and the two of them talk . she tells him about the conversation in the hospital room , and david in turn reports this to his editor . now david has started to attract attention . emma contacts him and passes on all the incriminating evidence that she has . cyclist stephen swart also has information to support david\u2019s case . david has now gathered enough evidence for his editor to finally agree that he can publish his story in the newspaper , under the headline \u2018la confidential\u2019 . david is invited to texas by bob hamman ( dustin hoffman ) , an insurer for the us postal team who now has doubts that lance is entitled to the $ 5 million bonuses that he is owed for his tour triumphs . if lance is cheating in races , then he is also cheating him . lance is incensed by david\u2019s story . he rages about emma , who he presumes tipped david off , calling her an \u2019alcoholic whore\u2018 , and gives stapleton a series of commands \u2013 to threaten emma , get frankie to \u2018muzzle\u2018 his wife , \u2019stonewall\u2018 walsh , find out who he travels with and freeze him out , offer david\u2019s american publisher lance\u2019s new book to create a conflict of interest . lance rants that he will not be brought down . whilst lance brings a libel case against the sunday times , an arbitration case is mounted against lance by bob hamman . stapleton threatens frankie , and lance defames him to potential employers . at arbritration , lance arrogantly and angrily deflects all the questions . bruyneel warns off david\u2019s colleagues at the tour . the sunday times loses to lance and pays out \u00a3300 , 000 in damages . hamman also loses to lance and is forced to pay out the $ 5 million bonus money , but he tells stapleton that he knows lance has lied under oath . stapleton smirks that lance will retire and then nothing can touch him .\nthe following tour is won by floyd , but he gets caught using testosterone . although he denies it ( unconvincingly ) , he is stripped of his title . floyd returns to his community . meanwhile lance\u2019s time is now spent making mindless commercials and giving corporate speeches . lance decides that after four years , he is going to make a tour comeback . bruyneel tells him that it is a bad idea - he is too old , it\u2019s vain and they have got away with it until now . but lance won\u2019t quit , he says he is coming back for the fight against cancer .\nfloyd , who is still ostracised from the sport , calls imploring lance to have him on the team , but lance dismisses him - sorry , you got caught . the tour does not go well for lance . he can\u2019t keep pace with the new star on his team , alberto contador , who goes on to win , leaving him in third place . contador then humiliates him further by telling the press that he allowed lance his third position . meanwhile feeling like he has no options , floyd decides to turn himself in to the us anti - doping agency\u2019s travis tygart . he exposes lance , who is finally recognised as the leader in a culture of doping . the tide is finally turning against lance . he receives a lifetime ban from sports . he is a broken man . lance is interviewed by oprah winfrey , david watches with his editor on tv . grim faced and broken , lance finally admits he doped in every tour that he won . we see lance cycle to the remote dead man\u2019s hole , and look down into the deep water . lance tells oprah that it was a mythic story but it wasn\u2019t true . lance plunges into the water hole . he cycles home , alone on an empty road

the - field behavior . along with albert finney , harris was one of the first british actors to be influenced by the work of marlon brando and the techniques developed by the actors studio , and it would not be wrong to think of the character of frank as a descendant of stanley kowalski . like many of their contemporaries in the era of the angry young man , both anderson and harris were also steeped in italian neorealism , another strong influence on the film ' s style and tone . while anderson would go on to produce more cerebral and explicit critiques of british society , none of his other films approach this one in terms of raw emotional power .\nscottish writer and former vocalist for the punk band the skids , richard jobson makes his . . .\nscottish writer and former vocalist for the punk band the skids , richard jobson makes his directorial debut with 16 years of alcohol , the stylized psychological drama based on his own semi -

fiction book annie ' s coming out by disability activists rosemary crossley and anne mcdonald . the book tells the story of mcdonald ' s early life in a government institution for people with severe disabilities and her subsequent release .\nit ' s important to note that this film covers events that took place in america during the 70s . released in 1982 , i first saw this film in the late 80s . i was actually staying in a residential disabled children ' s home at the time . the comparison with my lovely surroundings could not have been starker . where i stayed was a place of luxury compared to the miserable hospital annie was imprisoned in . i was outraged that people could be treated so badly . that said , the film does have it ' s moments that make you smile , and ultimately has a happy ending ( at least for annie ) . i hope that ' s not a spoiler , but i think it ' s important . if by the description of the film you ' re thinking this is for you , then it definitely is . i have also read the book , and as the write up above comments , there is much more to the true story that is not told in the film , so makes a good accompaniement . i was pleased a few years ago to receive an email from annie & rosemary , who are still fighting for the rights of disabled children in australia , although obviously times have changed dramatically thank goodness . i have seen this film many times , i practically know it word for word , but i ' ve ordered this as i really want to hear the commentary .\ni had seen this film many years before and knew it was based on a true story . it ' s a good film about the empowerment of people who may have a disability ; one that everyone should see at least once in their life . maybe not quite as good as ' the miracle worker ' ( 1962 ) with anne bancroft in the story of helen keller but not far from it . i recommend it to you .\nwill not play on the two main dvd players . i borrowed a portable dvd player and this movie will play on this . shouldn ' t the dvd play on all of my dvd players ?\na true and very moving story . the young girl playing the role of annie is captivating . annie ' s story of discovery and ultimate freedom shouldn ' t be missed . i knew the story going into the viewing , and was pleased to see it was done beautifully .\nprime members enjoy fast & free shipping , unlimited streaming of movies and tv shows with prime video and many more exclusive benefits .\nafter viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .\nthe first take it from here broadcast was on 23rd march 1948 , coinciding with jimmy\u2019s twenty - eighth birthday , but seemed to pass by unnoticed according to reactions the next day . in fact the audience figures for the whole series were low , but largely thanks to charles maxwell\u2019s support , it lasted six months . the shows settled into a format which was to see them through the next five series as well , and already familiar characters emerged , such as dick bentley\u2019s poet who always began his monologue with the strangulated cry \u201coh mavis ! \u201d , and joy\u2019s husky - voiced miss arundel , who interpreted every remark as a reference to her red - blooded fianc\u00e9 , gilbert .\nmuir & norden delighted in puns , and later continued to indulge with their own radio show my word . tifh scripts were liberally injected with exchanges such as this between king henry viii and his valet : \u2018cornelius , i must find a man who is minded to show his fealty towards me\u2019 \u2013 \u2018me , your majesty , me ! no man is more fealty - minded than i am ! \u2019 . another favourite mirth - raiser was the personal reference , and not a show went by without a gag about dick\u2019s age . so there was jimmy unable to count the candles on dick\u2019s birthday cake because the heat drove him back , jimmy agreeing that dick is his oldest friend : \u2018there are friends i\u2019ve known longer , but you\u2019re the oldest ! \u2019 , and in tifh\u2019s contribution to a special gala radio show for the coronation , dick is informed that he was asked to attend because he is the only actor on the bbc who\u2019s been an elizabethan both times ! jim , of course , also comes in for a serve , common topics being his girth and his nasal appendages . in one opening , joy is praising window boxes with flowers in full bloom : \u2018it must be lovely to lean out of the window and have a mass of sweet smelling foliage growing right under your nose , jimmy\u2019 \u2013 \u2018aren\u2019t you being rather personal , dear ? \u2019\nother program conventions such as the trite theme song and the staid closing credits were perverted : the tifh theme boasted that this was the show with \u2018every minute packed with seconds\u2019 , and the announcements at the end were of the ilk : \u2018frank muir & denis norden wrote the script in a weekend and charles maxwell produced it in a weak moment\u2019 , or for a special broadcast from the naval barracks at portsmouth : \u2018charles maxwell captained the crew , while frank muir and denis norden as usual pumped the bilge\u2019 . amongst the closing credits was the name herbert mostyn , which was not in fact a real person but rather the middle names of frank and denis respectively and represented their contributions , reading odd lines or taking on regular small parts .\nwith increasing popularity during the third series , impresario jack hylton suggested that the show could transfer to the stage , and the three stars appeared at the top of a variety bill at the victoria palace for a short while before moving to the prince of wales theatre . after a summer season at blackpool , the show opened at the adelphi in london on 31st october 1950 under the negotiated title take it from us . it was a spectacular production with a troupe of chorus girls , an adagio act , lavish sets , solo spots for joy , dick and jimmy ( the latter with assistance from his euphonium ) and a finale sketch \u2018friends , romans , countrymen\u2019 or \u2018what a sphinx ! \u2019 , adapted by future carry on script -

[ 4 ]\neditor barry keith grant is director of the film studies program at brock university in st . catharines , ontario , canada .\nthe stepfather is a 1987 american psychological horror thriller film directed by joseph ruben and starring terry o ' quinn , jill schoelen and shelley hack . o ' quinn stars as henry morrison , an identity - assuming serial killer who remarries a widow with a teenage daughter . after previously killing his family and changing his identity , his killing spree continues after his stepdaughter becomes suspicious about him . it is loosely based on the life of mass murderer john list , although the plot is more commonly associated with slasher films of the era than a true story . the film was written by donald e . westlake , from a story by westlake , carolyn lefcourt and brian garfield .\nthe stepfather ( the 1987 version ) is not like most slasher films ; it is a uniquely feminist horror film . carol j . clover\u2019s theory of the \u201cfinal girl\u201d * , the trope in horror cinema that leaves one unique girl as the sole survivor , is brilliant and generally accurate . but our heroine , stephanie , is not like other final girls . for one , she is one of the only girls in the film . the film is full of empty , impotent signifiers of male power : the male lieutenant , the male therapist , the male high school teacher , the male hero / amateur detective , the male reporter and , of course , stephanie\u2019s dead father . more importantly , throughout the duration of this film no women are killed . let me repeat that : no women are killed . it may not be obvious to some viewers , but it is strikingly obvious to me , a feminist who loves horror films . when the film opens , jerry ( or henry morrison , his identity before jerry ) has already killed his previous family , which we know contained a wife and at least one daughter , but during the film only men are slaughtered . they are men who attempt to rescue stephanie and her mother susan , but the only person who actually rescues stephanie is stephanie .\nthe makeup artist for the stepfather also gets a nod from me . we see jerry transform into a different human being twice in the film ( for a total of three different appearances ) and he never looks quite the same each time . in fact during the last transformation he actually appears to be a much older man .\nadaptational villainy : the stepfather , who comes across as much more of a cold - blooded sociopath in the remake compared to his predecessor , who was probably insane .\nthere ' s a shot towards the end of the film where several vampires run from the protection of car in slow - motion . it still has the power to chill the blood even after multiple viewings . near dark is a classic film , and one well worth tracking down on blu - ray .\nnever trust a trailer : that awesome swinging buzzsaw scene that was in all the trailers and tv spots ? its completely absent from the film .\nhorror doesn ' t settle for simple tuesday : not counting the prologue , stepfather iii begins on easter , and ends on father ' s day .\nthis list shows all films released in 1987 , including films that went direct - to - video , or only got an international theatrical release . for each film , we use the first date on which it was made available to the public , which might include international theatrical or domestic video releases that were a few days , or sometimes more , earlier than the domestic ( us / canada ) theatrical release .\nreleased by new century vista film company in june , the film eked out a total of just under $ 2 . 5 million in its theatrical release , despite some glowing reviews from critics . it fared better on home video , with the suburbia soaked atmosphere playing perfectly to the manicured lawns and white picket fences crowd . if you were , are , or will be a teenaged suburbanite , the stepfather is for you . ( having a murderous parent is not necessary to enjoy the film , but i suppose it would add a little resonance . )\nthe stepfather .\nwe want to give the new flick the benefit of the doubt . that , and we just can ' t get behind\ndisturbia ,\narguably the movie that made labeouf a star .\ndirect download : srs - 04 - thestepfather - 2009 . mp3 category : stepfather retrospective - - posted at : 11 : 00am edt\nupon revisiting the stepfather ( in preparation for watching the sequels for the first time ) , i can ' t help but feel as though this movie is a bit over - rated .\npeter jackson ' s splatter - ific calling card , this gonzo 1987 effort is nominally concerned with a small new zealand town under siege from aliens , but it ' s really about the insanely gory , over - the - top b - movie special effects that jackson created on his own .\nduring its opening weekend , the stepfather grossed around $ 260 , 587 ; it was released in 148 movie theatres and earned a total domestic gross of $ 2 , 488 , 740 . [ 1 ] film critic roger ebert from the chicago sun times gave the movie 2 . 5 stars , and commented :\nmysterious past : four films and the stepfather still doesn ' t have an origin . . . or even a real name . closest we get is doctor danvers calling him\nbill krieger\nin the second film , though they don ' t actually outright state if that ' s his real name , or an old alias . the stepfather also apparently tells danvers about his past . . . offscreen . . . he also could have been lying .\nthe actors in the film do a nice job at portraying the film\u2019s simple characters , even though the thin story does not push the characters very far . familiar faces like t . v . \u2019s walsh and badgley are pretty faces with talent , but decent acting doesn\u2019t go far to save what is ultimately a stale story .\noverprotective dad : when the stepfather sees his stepdaughter stephanie kissing a boy named paul he completely freaks out , claiming paul was going to try and rape stephanie .\nthe stepfather has an 86 % approval rating from rotten tomatoes and an average rating of 6 . 7 / 10 out of 29 reviews . film critic roger ebert , from the chicago sun times , gave the movie 2 . 5 stars out of 4 , and commented :\nviolence itself seems to sell at the box office , even when it ' s divorced from any context . maybe that ' s what the filmmakers were thinking . what often happens , though , is that in an otherwise flawed film there are a couple of things that are wonderful . the stepfather has one wonderful element : terry o ' quinn ' s performance .\nebiri : exactly . the central relationship between the sisters in this film is so involving , even tender , that it\u2019s hard to step back and get any kicks from the genre elements in this film . it\u2019s really a tragedy , and when i first saw it , years ago , the final shot absolutely wiped the floor with me .\ni have many names : there is no way of telling what the stepfather ' s real name is , or which one of them he believes it to be .\nstandard ' 50s father : the stepfather seems to think of himself as this , and at one point is explicitly compared to ward cleaver from leave it to beaver .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nthis entry ' s a little bit of a cheat , because the stepfather was actually shot in 1985 and shelved for two years . but going by its year of release , this taut little thriller still qualifies as a 1987 movie . the plot sounds like your typical\nkiller in our midst\nfare ; a middle - aged maniac goes from place to place , starting new families under assumed names before offing them all horribly after a couple of weeks have passed .\nebiri : i also like the tension between the three leads : for me , their mounting anger at each other and fear of their surroundings really drives the film\u2019s scares , putting the lie to the misguided notion that it\u2019s all gimmick . that said , the gimmick is pretty great , even though it\u2019s also kind of a ripoff of an earlier , inferior film called the last broadcast .\n\u201cwait a minute . . . who am i here ? \u201d is the central question posed by jerry blake in the 1987 slasher film , the stepfather . it is a story of patriarchy in crisis . in a world in which \u201ctraditional\u201d and \u201cold fashioned\u201d ( both characteristics attributed to jerry ) notions of male dominance and the nuclear family are thoroughly challenged , the patriarchal order is undergoing a desperate identity crisis . the film is about a man who marries into a family that eventually disappoints him by not living up to his expectations of the perfect family , so he kills them and moves on to another town and another family . in the stepfather , it is patriarchy that is broken and unable to find a reality in which its conceptualization of self exists . without the structural order \u201cthe father\u201d is accustomed to , he simply does not know who he is , and rather than deal with this and evolve , he chooses to deny reality , destroy it , and recreate it in his own image , which , ultimately , always fails .\nwhile i was watching the film , i was distracted by elements of the idiot plot syndrome - - moments when only an idiot would have made such obvious mistakes .\nbut not too gay : its only pretty close to the end of the film that we realize jackie and leah are lovers , and not just roommates or something .\nindeed , what makes the stepfather so compelling is that it starts from a simple truth about human life ( the everyday lives we lead are performances ) and takes it to a horrifying though honest extreme . unlike freddy krueger or jason voorhees , the monstrous title character of the stepfather is both plausible and a rich metaphor for the danger of traditional patriarchy in a world largely trying to move beyond that tradition .\nthe viewer knows from the beginning that stephanie\u2019s suspicions are well founded\u2014this is a suspense film , not a mystery . the film\u2019s opening sequence lets the viewer in on the title character\u2019s secret by showing o\u2019quinn tie all the potential loose ends at the scene of his most recent crime . he has killed his family in their idyllic suburban home and is subtly changing his appearance to start anew somewhere else .\ncool old guy : father brennan , who shares andy ' s interest in solving mysteries , and even starts helping him to find info on his stepfather .\ni will start this review by saying that the beginning sequence in joseph ruben\u2019s the stepfather is probably one of the most disturbing sequences i have ever seen in a movie . the beginning of the film simply shows henry starting to clean himself up ; at the beginning of the film he wears glasses and has longer hair and a beard . the hair is cut and the beard is shaved off all while henry looks in the mirror . after cleaning himself up the man walks down stairs where we see his families murdered bodies scattered around the room , he walks past them and calmly makes his way out of the door . trust me the scene is way creepier than i could ever describe it .\nan undying procession of sons of dracula and daughters of darkness has animated the horror film genre from the beginning . indeed , in this pioneering exploration of the cinema of fear , barry keith grant and twenty other film critics posit that horror is always rooted in gender , particularly in anxieties about sexual difference and gender politics .\n* for more on the final girl theory , see men , women , and chainsaws : gender in the modern horror film by carol j . clover . it rocks .\nred herring : mark wraynal . we ' re briefly lead to believe he ' s the stepfather , but it turns out to be keith , who kills him via . . .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nbread , eggs , milk , squick : non - verbal example . the movie begins with the stepfather going about his daily routine . . . then it reveals he ' s murdered his current family .\nthe only halloween film to not feature michael myers\u2014it was intended to turn the franchise into more of an anthology - style series\u2013 season of the witch ( about a conspiracy involving halloween masks ) remains a uniquely unsettling stand - alone film in an e . c . comics - by - way - of - john - carpenter tradition .\nthe film that launched the career of michael rooker , john mcnaughton ' s seminal 1986 serial - killer film takes a gritty , no - frills docudrama approach to its story ( based on real - life convict henry lee lucas ) about a psycho and his partner - in - crime acting on their murderous impulses .\nebiri : reportedly , the tensions were very real behind the camera as well , and rumors abound that spielberg directed as much , if not more , of the film as hooper did . and , of course , it\u2019s been copied many times since \u2014 what is insidious but basically just a more spiritual variation on this film\u2019s main conceit ?\nall the same , the film is by no means a perfect feminist rallying cry . for one thing , it ' s subtler than a rallying cry would be . susan does choose to let the thoroughly conservative jerry into her family , after all\u2014he didn\u2019t force himself in . more damningly , though , the stepfather plays up many shots of the women ( especially stephanie ) for sex appeal . although stephanie spends the whole film in quaint , delightful sweaters , neither she nor her mother ever seem to wear bras or anything else beneath their sweaters , so little is left to the imagination . likewise , the camera lingers gratuitously upon nude jill schoelen in a shower scene ( to the film\u2019s credit , terry o\u2019quinn is likewise shown completely nude in an earlier shower scene ) .\nterry o ' quinn , who portrayed the stepfather in the first two installments of the series , was approached by director nelson mccormick to appear in the remake , but according to producer mark morgan , o ' quinn turned down the offer .

[ 3 ]\nby the time jerry utters his pivotal question , \u201cwho am i here ? \u201d during the suspenseful ( but sort of routine ) slasher finale , we realize we already know the answer : one of the greatest actors to grace a horror film , playing an all - timer in the deranged hall of fame . the stepfather isn\u2019t perfect , and neither is jerry ; but they both build a pretty good birdhouse . and like the sweetest bird , terry o\u2019quinn can sing .\nsomething of a cult - classic nowadays , the stepfather , released in 1987 , was made during a time when hollywood wasn\u2019t afraid to release r - rated horror movies . most modern genre fodder comes bloodless and with a pg - 13 prerequisite , because after all , there\u2019s box - office numbers to consider and young teens love their body count fare . but here\u2019s a movie that represents exactly what \u201880s horror was all about , while also furnishing a ( ironically ) satisfying experience , unlike its comparatively shoddy 2009 remake .\nthe only gruesome part of this film is a dead body found in the family\u2019s freezer , an image which lasts all of five seconds . the rest of the movie drags on because knowing the plot only makes one wonder why the characters are so dumb at figuring it out .\na moment near the end of 1987\u2019s the stepfather crystallizes the elusive fantasy that motivates jerry blake , the damnably old - fashioned serial killer of the title . played with deranged wholesomeness by terry o\u2019quinn , a great character actor who most will recognize as locke on lost , jerry moves from one tree - lined , family - friendly town to another , searching for single mothers in need of a decent , hard - working husband to stabilize the house . as one family situation falls apart , jerry creates a new identity ( along with a convincing disguise ) and begins setting up shop elsewhere , then slaughters the women and children who have so bitterly disappointed him .\nthe main reason i ' m writing anything here is because of my excitement regarding this song by stunt rock , there are tons of audio clips from films and when the opening lines from the song were spoken in the stepfather , i had a mini - freakout .\n( 1980 ) , working again with quaid . about a madcap bunch of waiters , the film didn ' t make much of an impression on critics or the movie going public . it was\na misfire because it obviously tries to take advantage of its predecessor . the psychotic killer from the first film starts the same routine all over again by posing as a marriage counselor and preying on unsuspecting divorcees and widows .\n. what frustrated me about it more than anything , though , was that the original movie was only available on dvd . i mean , it seemed like movie marketing 101 . . . let the oversized hollywood studio make their glossy , double - digit iq remake , and the smaller shop rides the other guys ' marketing budget by re - releasing the original at the same time . i get it now , though . shout ! factory wasn ' t leaving money on the table by holding off on releasing the 1987 take on\nfind the answers to these burning questions here - along with talk of the film ' s history and origins , its critical reception , and its place in pop culture and the franchise . as always , the guys give you their unfiltered opinions .\ncall back : the film has a lot of references to the original . surprising , considering it was made by the same people who brought us the when a stranger calls and prom night remakes , both of which are borderline in name only .\namateur sleuth : james\njim\nogilvie has no formal law enforcement or investigation training , but spent a good chunk of the first movie following the stepfather ' s trail from town to town to apprehend his sister ' s killer outside of the law .\nebiri : the film supposedly presents the gradual decaying of his reality , but sometimes i wonder if it isn\u2019t all a hallucination from the get - go . watch the ease with which he seduces the beautiful debbie harry on a tv talk show ; cronenberg\u2019s vision of the video revolution is really that of a wish fulfillment fantasy gone berserk . the more we want to enter the dreamlife of the video image , the more it wants to enter us . the fact that the film has since dated somewhat , with all those awful analog tv signals and rows and rows of videotapes , now just adds to the discomfiting otherworldliness .\nbruce kawin tells us that\na good horror film takes you down into the depths and shows you something about the landscape .\nlandscape , of course , accommodates multiple perspectives . in the end , the differences of critical opinion in this book mirror the confusion over difference itself that informs our culture at this point in history . yet at the same time this critical difference reveals the health and vitality that has been characteristic of the horror film and our thinking about it for the last thirty years . today gender roles are being tested , challenged , and redefined everywhere , and until such time as difference is no longer dreaded , this crucial aspect of the horror film will remain very important for us .\nthe craziest possession film ever\u2013and potentially the craziest film ever\u2013andrzej zulawski ' s relationship drama charts the disintegration of a marriage between a spy ( sam neill ) and his wife ( isabelle adjani ) , who ' s soon sleeping with a tentacled monster . in the signature scene , adjani writhes around a subway station floor while miscarrying . as i ' ve said before , it has to be seen to be believed .\nyou can ' t have a\nmovie convention\nwithout them , can you ? absolutely not ! and we plan on showing plenty of films on both 16mm film and video at cinema wasteland - many of which may be hosted by the stars and directors appearing as guests at the show . our evening film show is free to all attendees and hotel guests .\nthroughout the film , jerry has been making a birdhouse \u2013 a miniature version of his idea of the perfect home . susan and stephanie help jerry erect it mid - way through the film , and we are given a distorted shot from the top of the birdhouse , looking down , emphasizing how high and unreachable jerry\u2019s idea of family really is . in the closing scene of the film , stephanie cuts the birdhouse down . we see it lying in the foreground while stephanie and her mother walk arm - in - arm , happy and complete , back into their home . they do not relocate as many families in horror films do after tragedy because of the symbolic significance of reclaiming their house , their structure . the film shows us that these two women are a complete family . they do not need a patriarch , and they do not need the conventional notion of the nuclear family to be happy \u2013 in fact , they are better off without it .\nthe book begins with three landmark accounts of the horror film in the context of gender that have influenced the scope of contemporary critical debate , including much of the subsequent work included in this volume . collected in part one , these three essays , following upon laura mulvey ' s groundbreaking 1975 essay\nvisual pleasure and narrative cinema ,\nshare a concern with the gendered dynamics of looking in the horror film . linda williams ' s\nwhen the woman looks\nexamines mulvey ' s notion of narrative film as articulating a controlling male gaze in the context of the horror film specifically . her suggestion that there is a sympathetic alignment between the monster ' s gaze and that of the female spectator is echoed by barbara creed , who employs julia kristeva ' s notion of abjection as it relates to the horror film , especially in terms of monstrous images of the maternal . carol clover reexamines those assumptions concerning the supposed masculine essence of horror in the context of the slasher subgenre . her emphasis on the fluidity of point of view and spectator identification is informed by more recent theory that has moved beyond the binary gender determinism of mulvey ' s model and argues that these movies , which previously had been understood as particularly misogynist , might indeed hold some value for feminism ."]}

year - old tommy on whom he dotes , they appear to be in seclusion , hunkered down in a house outside town . when charlie\u2019s wife angela arrives she seems , at first glance , to be appalled to find them together . it will be a little time before we understand just why . by staggering his revelations , currie makes this a challenging film to describe , but the strategy is a most effective one . he keeps us utterly intent on unpacking the unstable family dynamics we witness . are we maybe even in\nat d23 expo last year we saw this beautiful concept art ! and did you watch fashion stars heidi klum , kendall jenner , and more honor the incomparable edna e . mode ? the fashion icon will be returning in the sequel , directed by brad bird , who also voices edna . we already know this movie is going to be incredible . we also know that in it , a new villain will be hatching a brilliant and dangerous plot , and the incredibles family will need to team up with frozone to deal with it . check out the latest trailer here .\ni\u2019m fascinated by good people doing bad things . at the start of the film we meet this playful , loving couple \u2014 and yet as the story unfolds they do something most parents would find unthinkable .\nafter seeing a clip of the \u201ccircle of life\u201d scene at d23 expo last year , we could not be more excited to see this film . it is directed by jon favreau , and features an amazing cast including donald glover , james earl jones , beyonc\u00e9 , and more . we are all in for an epic experience when this reimagining of the lion king comes to theaters . see the full cast list here .\nthe year ' s biggest local box office hit . the taika waititi - jemaine clement horror - comedy what we do in the shadows won the best self - funded movie category having missed out on best film consideration .\ndirector max currie himself must be lauded for doing a great job at bringing everything together . for a film made with limited resources , some crisp cinematography , a poignant musical score alongside a smooth flowing story prevailed . assisted by the brilliant producers tom hern ( the dark horse ) and luke robinson ( evil dead ) the craft of making it the classic new zealand film it is a lot easier .\nwhat we did in the shadows took away the production design and sound prizes , and jackie beek won the supporting actress prize of her performance in the film who thanked co - directors waitit and clement\nwho never let me read a script and gave me contradictory directions\n.\nwhat makes the film brilliant is that it never gets too complicated . it sticks to what works and does a great job with it . one element which i really enjoyed was exploring the mood of \u201cmommy and daddy . \u201d even though a young \u201cson\u201d is present in their lives again , they are never completely happy ; consequently they are never really sad either . for most of the film their moods are neutral . for those who have yet to see it , just watch very carefully and try count the number of times charlie speaks in a genuinely positive tone or angela smiles sincerely ; there are plenty of attempted efforts to do so but it very rarely succeeds . also , we know both adults do not mean bad . they are benevolent people who are prepared to sacrifice everything - even at the risk of going to prison - to be reunited as a family .\nat last year\u2019s d23 expo walt disney studios live - action presentation , we saw many of the actors who bring our favorite characters to life . you guys \u2026 this movie is going to be amazing , and now it is opening sooner so that fans around the world can enjoy it at the same time ! check out the intense trailer here .\nwe literally got goosebumps watching the teaser trailer of a wrinkle in time . based on the book by madeleine l\u2019engle , the film is directed by ava duvernay and stars a phenomenal cast including oprah winfrey ( who was honored as a disney legend last year ) , chris pine , reese witherspoon , mindy kaling , and storm reid ! take a look at these images from the film , if you haven\u2019t already !\nwe meet charlie ( brett stewart ) , a reserved man who is desperate to reunite his family . once a travelling magician with his wife angela ( sia trokenheim - cettina ) , he now lives in a rundown lifestyle block . living with him is a young boy . for a brief moment we are made to believe it is his son hugo . however a quick sequence of events establishes that hugo is dead . the boy who is there is none other than tommy ( ben clarkson ) , a five year old whose face is all over the news ; he was kidnapped . things get heated when his wife angela returns to see tommy . she wants to call the police but charlie persuades her that he can make them a family again . so begins a rather lukewarm illusion , one which could continue if all three of them move overseas .\ngradually , it builds a sense of unease as the plainly loving charlie is confronted with questions such as such as\nare you my real daddy ?\nand\nwhere is mummy ?\n. a television report about a missing child ( the newsreader is suzy clarkson , the child actor ' s real mother ) is our first clue as to what happened and when stewart ' s wife angela ( trokenheim ) joins them , we join the dots .\nproduction began last year on this film , starring paul rudd and evangeline lilly , and it\u2019s sure to be epic ! what we know so far : the film will take place in the aftermath of captain america : civil war as scott lang aka ant -

end drama convinces on an emotional level even if , visually , the film is rather traditionally put together .\ncharlie ( stewart ) and angela ( trokenheim ) used to tour the country as a magician and his sexy assistant , though the curtain unexpectedly came down both professionally and privately when their young child , hugo , suddenly died . when the film opens , charlie is at home but angela\u2019s gone , though the mourning father is not alone , as he\u2019s looking after and playing with a five - year - old boy , tommy ( ben clarkson ) . currie\u2019s screenplay initially leaves the relationships between the characters unclear and has the little boy ask rather odd questions , such as\nare you my real daddy ?\nand\nwhere is momma ?\na tv report about a missing boy provides the missing puzzle piece and when angela finally returns to the couple\u2019s home , the extent to which charlie has strayed becomes clear as it\u2019s obvious their own son died and tommy\u2019s real parents are elsewhere - - they may be negligent caregivers , as charlie keeps insisting , but they are alive and have been robbed of their offspring . the first reaction of angela , who clearly had to leave the house to go through her own grieving process , is one of disbelief and rejection ; she can\u2019t be part of charlie\u2019s insane replacement plan .\nthe justification for charlie\u2019s actions are of course located in his grief , as his pain has temporarily undermined his capability for sound moral judgment . though the film starts after hugo\u2019s death , the enormity and the power of the parents\u2019 sorrow is made abundantly clear by their decisions and actions , with angela , perhaps even to her surprise , gradually finding relief in the idea of having a \u201cnew hugo\u201d and the associated sense of comfort and even a glimpse of the good old times increasingly outweighing her objections .\ncurrie thankfully doesn ' t overdo the magic metaphors and has believably charted the emotional arcs of his adult leads . once they\u2019ve both accepted their new reality , and the soothing sensation it affords them , their need to protect their newfound family and calm makes their life increasingly complicated and , paradoxically , agitated , since they can\u2019t be seen in public with a kidnapped child that\u2019s all over the news . to complicate matters even further , they\u2019ve not been able to pay the rent for months and their landlord wants them out within a week .\nnew zealand actor stewart ( he died with a felafel in his hand ) and swedish - born trokenheim ( kiwi tv series step dave ) form a believable couple , unable to face the death of their child alone but probably more dangerous when facing it together . entirely in step with currie\u2019s direction , they ensure the story\u2019s grounded in a recognizable emotional reality rather than any kind of tabloid hysteria or sensationalism . clarkson , whose mother suzy clarkson , has a cameo as a news reporter , is a natural child actor who makes tommy\u2019s initial confusion , his natural curiosity and desire for stability and love at any cost all come alive .\ncinematographer dave garbett ( spartacus : blood and sand ) and editor dan kircher use a clever variation on a match cut early on and the film\u2019s color palate becomes bleaker as the family\u2019s situation grows increasingly dire . but otherwise it is the actors that do almost all of the heavy lifting here , conjuring up a world of pain that allows them to do things no sane person would ever think of doing .\nit ' s difficult to provide a complete assessment of this striking kiwi feature without engaging in what might seem like - but is not really ; the plot point occurs less than 20 minutes in - a major spoiler .\nso if you want to see it - and see it you should - completely cold , let your eye skip the next three paragraphs right now . ( start at\nthe newest fruit . . .\n)\nfor me , the major improbability that dogs an otherwise assured piece of work is the idea that a mother - any mother , anywhere , ever - would accept as her own someone else ' s son when ( here ' s the important bit ) she knew that the boy concerned had been abducted and that his real mother was inhabiting a panic - stricken hell .\ndirector and writer currie seeks to deal with this credibility challenge by having a character tell us that the boy ' s real mum and dad are not fit parents and , to be sure , the world his two main characters come to create is one fraught with a perfectly plausible insanity occasioned by their own bereavement . but when the film ' s mother first discovers what happens , her response is one of horror : the process by which she becomes part of the plot ' s conspiracy is far from convincing and , for me , it remained a fatal flaw .\ncurrie deftly constructs the couple ' s backstory : their past as performing magicians provides plenty of scope for faintly fellini - esque sequences . it ups the ante further when , behind with the rent , the trio have to go out in public to perform and the film exploits , without ever overdoing it , the fact that they make their living by deceiving people . yet it ' s hard not to feel that the film paints itself into something of a narrative corner . there is not enough dramatic or emotional development to set it apart from the routine , and the inevitability of the ending becomes something of a let - down .\nall that said , it is an extraordinarily impressive technical achievement that quite belies its chump - change budget . cinematographer dave garbett creates a colour palette that reflects the couple ' s progressively shrinking world - the cinema seems to become colder with each passing minute . and stewart and trokenheim are excellent as a couple sinking deeper into darkness .\nthe film , which premiered at the film festival on monday evening , went live on a video - on - demand platform at the same time . that innovative release strategy should assure it the audience it deserves .\nsia trokenheim plays julie hansen . desperate to find her daughter eva , julie travels to the indian himalayas in search for her .\nthis saturday at 8 . 30pm . tag a friend who you think should see it and make sure you tune in yourself ! kia ora maori tv .\nbrowse television , film , short film , music video , web series , documentary , drama and more categories .\nbiographies , screentalk interviews and details of cast and crew from the nz screen industry .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

( the school song was a common feature of both girls ' schools and girls ' school stories , and was intended to stir the\nschool spirit\n) . at the end of the film , the words are reproduced for the audience to sing along with in the manner of a pantomime , with a ball marking each word as it is sung . the song shows that the girls will stop at nothing to get their own way , continuing to reflect cultural fears about the implications of girls and women ' s independence .\ndorian gray stars ben barnes , who will soon be seen as prince caspian in the new narnia film .\nof the franchise , rather than a direct sequel , with certain plot elements borrowed from the first film .\nlike the happiest days of your life , the belles of st trinian ' s included among its stars alastair sim , who played both the st trinian ' s headmistress millicent fritton and her bookmaker brother clarence ( sim having played the headmaster of nutbourne college in the previous film ) and joyce grenfell as policewoman sergeant ruby gates ( grenfell having previously played a st swithun ' s teacher ) . grenfell , whose character is that of the overgrown schoolgirl who never grows up , was also to star in the following two films , as was george cole as flash harry , the grown - up boot - boy engaged before the war who remained with the school as its only ( avowedly ) male character . the film ' s opening and closing music was composed by matthew arnold and directed by muir mathieson , and as with the the happiest days of your life and the rest of the st trinian ' s films , background and title graphics were provided by searle . stt2\nthe pure hell of st . trinian ' s ( 1960 ) : the girls are kidnapped and forced to defend themselves against the sons of an arabian emir , who want them as their wives .\nprior to st trinian ' s , karan appeared in the darjeeling limited . since then , she has had roles in both the merchant of venice and the taming of the shrew at the rsc .\n, with the st . trinian\u2019s team filming on location during opening hours . from the tube station , annabelle leads the way to the buried treasure at a london landmark just south of the river .\nthe following scene resembles searle ' s cartoons and the genre more closely , since it shows the mayhem caused by the st trinian ' s school train journey . searle produced a number of cartoons which show the girls travelling to school , arriving and unpacking ; the journey to school is also commonly depicted at the beginning of girls ' school stories . as the st trinian ' s train arrives , station personel run away , shops and banks are locked up , and the police are frightened and take refuge in drinking alcohol . as with the cartoons , the st trinian ' s girls ' activities are well - known throughout the community . stt5\nthe film ' s score was composed by charlie mole . the soundtrack also contains\ntheme to st . trinian ' s\nperformed by girls aloud ,\ntrouble\nperformed by cast of st trinian ' s ,\noh my god\nperformed by mark ronson featuring lily allen ,\nlove is in the air\nperformed by rupert everett and colin firth ,\ndon ' t give up\nperformed by noisettes ,\nnine2five\nperformed by the ordinary boys vs . lady sovereign ,\nif i can ' t dance\nperformed by sophie ellis - bextor ,\nteenage kicks\nperformed by remi nicole ,\nsanctuary\nperformed by gabriella cilmi ,\nlove is a many - splendored thing\nperformed by the four aces ,\n3 spoons of suga\nperformed by sugababes ,\non my way to satisfaction\nperformed by girls aloud and\nthe st trinian ' s school song\nperformed by cast of st trinian ' s .\ntracklistings come from musicbrainz . you can add or edit information about st trinian ' s : the soundtrack at urltoken . find out more about our use of this data , and also our policy on profanity\ncut to the real dame maude at the ministry of education tendering her resignation to culpepper - brown . prestwick immediately sends the appalled bassett to rome to bring home the st . trinian ' s tour .\nin december 2009 , it was announced that there will be a st trinian ' s 3 . however , as of july 2016 , no cast or release date has been confirmed for the third instalment .\nthank you i watch it all ready and fun film and was no problem with it very satisfied . . .\nthe 2007 release , coming 27 years after the last entry and 53 years after the first film , is a rebooting of the franchise , rather than a direct sequel , with certain plot elements borrowed from the first film .\nlower class lout : the chav clique from the previous film are featured again , this time as rude girls .\nhowever , by the 1950s and 1960s , when the film comedies were made , st trinian ' s was used to mock post - war institutions such as the civil service , the police and the army alongside girls ' schools and school stories . rather than being the main focus of the satire , the female characters and their school were increasingly marginalised in favour of male characters , becoming ever more sexualised and passive in the process . the intended audience for the humour was both adult and male . perhaps unsurprisingly , the humour was also reactionary in its political perspective . the films reworked the st trinian ' s myth and thus its place in popular culture , and it is this reworked image which persists as the image of st trinian ' s today . when st trinian ' s went on the films - as so many schoolgirls of the day desired to do - the joke was as much on searle as it was on them . stt34\nmeantime , we cut to a brief glimpse of alastair sim , again in drag , this time as miss amelia fritton , former headmistress of st . trinian ' s , now behind bars for crimes unknown .\na rather daft film , but the music ' s good for light background listening ditto with the videos . a bit of fun to liven up a dull afternoon\nmiss dickinson is the new english teacher and she ' s completely overwhelmed on her first day . she appears to have gotten a decent grasp of what ' s going on by the time the film ends .\nbarnaby thompson , head of ealing studios , who produced and co - directed st trinian ' s alongside oliver parker , suggests success is largely down to the support and guaranteed distribution deal with entertainment film distributors .

weekend by lifetime\u2019s original movies . tonight\u2019s thriller the bride he bought online takes a shocking turn after some teens decide to play a joke on a lonely computer programmer . starring anne winters , travis hammer , and annalisa cochrane , according to the internet movie database ( imdb ) .\na lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john seeks revenge when he learns he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected : by three teen girls who created a fictitious mail - order bride that he bought .\nshe said she originally wrote the bride he bought online as an indie horror movie that would be her directorial debut and she was ready to start up a crowdfunding campaign . but , there was no need , because executive producer pierre david was into the idea \u2014 but as a thriller .\nso much of our every day communication happens through the faceless internet \u2014 e - mails , tweets , instagram photos , gchat , online dating sites , and so

will truly show audiences that the new love you found over the internet could be a mere prank by some teenagers . we hear of the idea of catfishing pretty often , so it ' s fair to wonder : is the bride he bought online based on a true story ?\noh , lifetime . always so good at reminding us that teenagers are the worst . also at giving characters [ adopts liam neeson voice ] a very particular set of skills that are selectively convenient to the plot . take , for example , last night ' s movie the bride he bought online , in which a computer programmer only realizes he ' s been catfished after he loses hundreds of dollars and has his heart broken . thank goodness he has all that computer knowledge to get revenge .\nafter finding a mail order bride website , three teen girls become fascinated with the dynamics behind \u201closer\u201d guys who buy brides online . in the sneak peek teaser , we see the girls making plans to dupe a lonely man who seeks a bride online . once he shows up at the designated location , the girls watch as the disheveled computer programmer holds up a sign with his bride\u2019s name on it . it becomes apparent to at least one of the teen girls that what they are doing is downright wrong . one thing is for sure , these girls have messed with the wrong man and have no idea what\u2019s in store for them after following through on this cruel joke .\nso , while the movie isn ' t based on one specific case , conradt says she was inspired to write the film by various cases of cyberbullying and juvenile crime . conradt has a masters degree in criminal justice from boston university and her studies focused on cyber crime and juvenile delinquency . the bride he bought online certainly deals with those topics . it ' s a story about three teenage girls who run a prank blog and decide their latest target will be the man who falls for a fake profile they posted on a mail - order bride website . unfortunately for them , the pranked man becomes becomes hellbent on revenge against the girls , but will he take it too far ?\na lonely and unstable man seeks revenge against three teens who created a fake mail - order bride blog .\npart of the fun of the bride he bought online is how everything keeps escalating . there isn\u2019t one kidnapping , there are three . the girls prank against john escalates to filming and getting him to spend hundreds of dollars . john turns from an awkward guy who is improving for a woman he loves into an embittered men\u2019s rights activist ranting about how american women treat men horribly . even his plan for the girls jumps the rails when it turns out the shady guys he met in the darknet are untrustworthy ! who knew ? ! what pranksters , those sex slavers ! the constant amount of plot twists is entertaining , and while the film was never in danger of slowing down , it does keep dodging your expectations . or pranking your expectations !\neven though mandy screams every five seconds that he ' s going to kill them , john says he has other plans for them . plans like selling them into prostitution . that seems like an appropriate punishment for three stupid teenage girls who played an online prank , don ' t you think ? unfortunately he only manages to sell kaley ( so convenient that it was the ringleader ) before the sex traffickers bail on him without paying . well , shit . now what is he supposed to do with these other two girls he kidnapped ?\nryan discovers his friend brent is the father of one of his girlfriends twins babies and that he date raped her at a party over the summer . with college around the corner he will stop at nothing to clear his name .\nnow that john has all three girls tied up in his warehouse , he ' s able to lecture them about hurting people and being a pariah and how american women aren ' t grateful like foreign women are , and blah blah blah . i thought he was trying to talk them to death . my favorite part is when he says his father used to tell him he has to walk in another person ' s shoes to understand them , and he used to think he meant he had to put their shoes on , \u201cbut now i realize he meant it in a figurative way .

, social network , online dating , human trafficking , prostitution , and murder , even . while it shows a great deal of ambition , it also makes it comparatively difficult for a television movie like this to be able to live up to this kind of ambition . therefore , the consequence is that we get to see a little bit of everything , but we never get a chance to be truly involved in any of it .\nwhen viewing the mail order bride website it can be seen that they are on a youtube video . however this\nvideo\nacts as a real website .\nmore dire a fate than she deserves . i was amused to read the posts about this film on the urltoken message boards , and in particular how many people were bothered by the fact that conradt created both john and kaley as multi - dimensional characters , neither all good nor all bad , and wanted this film to have more clearly defined heroes and villains than the anti - hero and anti - villain conradt gave them . i was also amused that at least two of the message board contributors wondered if conradt was setting up a sequel \u2014 which in this case might not be a bad idea : a the bride he bought online , part 2 : kaley\u2019s revenge\njohn tries to chase after them for a while , but eventually he gives up and just collapses on the ground staring at a picture of his fake girlfriend on his phone . then he has some sort of vision / memory /

themes , the predictability of the storyline and the flat characters not only stop the movie from reaching the threshold of a good drama , but also make it nearly impossible for the audience to relate to the movie .\nshe also doesn ' t seem to know that you probably shouldn ' t try to fool an admitted computer programmer with a fake profile on a site for mail order brides . luckily for kaley , john ( travis hammer ) turns off the computer genius part of his brain when he sees pictures of diwata , the fake filipino woman kaley is pretending to be . they end up talking , and he even sends her a video of himself playing the guitar . it ' s all very pathetic , right down to the part where diwata doesn ' t show up to the airport on the flight he bought her a ticket for .\nwhen viewing the mail order bride website it can be seen that they are on a youtube video . however this\nvideo\nacts as a real website . see more \u00bb\nupon returning home , kaley turns on the tv , but john uses his computer hacking skills to scare her by turning off the security system in kaley ' s home . having succeeded in panicking her , he then enters the house and kidnaps kaley at gunpoint , taking her to the warehouse where he is holding mandy hostage . the next day , avery is being interviewed by an agent , as the parents of kaley and mandy are looking for their daughters . avery tells the agent about nick , and the cops mark him as a suspect . nick spoke to the cop , straightened everything out and told him about john and he was unaware what he was doing .\nin 2006 , a russian mail order bride named nina reiser entered into an online relationship with \u2014 and later married \u2014 computer programmer hans reiser . reiser ended up killing nina reiser after they began having problems . she was missing for a time , but hans reiser eventually led police to her body .\njohn takes mandy and avery back to the warehouse . he has to leave avery in the car while he ties mandy up , and for some reason she doesn ' t use that opportunity to make a run for it . does his car have a child lock or did he do some computer wizardry on it ? at least once they ' re all in the warehouse , avery takes advantage of the glass bottle just sitting on the ground and slices john ' s arm with it . he ' s very offended , and he runs home to bandage it . that ' s when his neighbor from across the street , a prostitute ( kesia elwin ) who ' s always showing him her bra through the window , shows up and notices his wound .\nbut , does this mean you should distrust the entire internet ? not quite .\ni think what ' s interesting is that when people go online the balance of trusting is thrown off , because either they just completely trust without being given a reason to trust that person , or they completely distrust ,\nconradt tells bustle .\na lot of our meaningful interactions with people have been replaced with what we believe are meaningful interactions online . people now believe you could get to know someone so well online and fall in love with them .\nbeyond the plot twists , the bride he bought online works because of the amazing actresses and their command performances . annalisa cochrane is awesome chewing the scenery when kaley goes full mean spoiled brat , and mandy and kaley feuding over a young man hired by john to get friended on their social media accounts is great catfighting and passive aggressiveness . anne winters plays avery so over everything and crushing on a boy instead , but is still forced to with her friends causing issues because of her sense of loyalty . lauren gaw\u2019s mandy torn between being popular and standing up for herself and remaining friends with avery , knowing in her heart that kaley will be left behind when they go off to college , but not able to push far enough away fast enough to do what is right .\nlater that day , avery is also kidnapped by john , and having now captured all three girls , he takes them to sell to a man he found online . the man are going to sell the girls for human trafficking . however , john gets scammed by the men , who only take kaley with them . afterwards , john takes mandy and avery back to the warehouse , where avery slashes him with a piece of glass and tries to escape , but is unsuccessful . upon returning home , john ' s hooker neighbor offers to find him someone else to sell the girls to , and the pair return to the warehouse . however , instead of aiding john in his trafficking attempt , the neighbor shoots him in the arm , allowing mandy and avery to escape . john then retaliates by shooting his neighbor in the chest while the girls hide in the warehouse , armed with the neighbor ' s gun and a cell phone . they call the police and are saved , though john commits suicide before he can be arrested .\njohn wants revenge , so he hires a male prostitute named nick ( randy blekitas ) to flirt with the girls and get their phone numbers . then the prank ee becomes the prank ster . ( unfortunately that wasn ' t a line in the movie . ) john starts texting kaley as nick , and you might think he plans to make her fall in love with him before standing her up , just to make things even . but this is a lifetime movie , so of course he has much more sinister things in mind .\nin the season premiere , after a nuclear incident , the secret of the asteroid becomes public , setting . . .\nwhen becoming members of the site , you could use the full range of functions and enjoy the most exciting films .\njohn was legit in love , but his heart is destroyed . after a bit of investigating , he finds out diwata\u2019s photos are of a dead model , and quickly traces where the photos are hosted , right in kaley\u2019s webspace complete with her name . some social media stalking soon strikes gold , john remembering her and the other girls from the airport as he overheard kaley and avery arguing . he even finds their pranking site along with the video of him at the airport . anger turns to revenge , and john prepares to do some pranking of his own . turns out kidnapping three teenage girls is also a prank ! but the pranking has just begun , and the girls must avoid the ultimate prank !\nwhat starts out as a harmless prank blog takes a dark turn for 17 - year - old avery when her friends , mandy and kaley , create a fake profile for an international dating site and begin to communicate with a lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john . having lived a life of isolation and bullying , the humiliation he feels when he realizes he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected .\njohn lures kaley and mandy to the skate park after dark , making them think they ' re meeting nick there . when the two girls split up , he kidnaps mandy and takes her to a generic tv movie warehouse , complete with graffiti and random pieces of trash here and there that will prove useful to the plot . once mandy ' s tied up and wastes no time placing the blame on kaley , john heads to her house , where he turns off her security system and all the lights using a few keys on his computer . this is just a reminder that john has the technological talent to do all this , but he didn ' t think to do a reverse image search until he ' d already paid for his fake girlfriend ' s plane ticket .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nbe the first to contribute ! for guidance , please visit the awards submission guide .\nwhat starts out as a harmless prank blog takes a dark turn for 17 - year - old avery when her friends , mandy and kaley , create a fake profile for an international dating site and begin to communicate with a lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john . having lived a life of isolation and bullying , the humiliation he feels when he realizes he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected . written by reel one entertainment\nof corridors so that , even if they free themselves from the straps he\u2019s tied them up with , they\u2019ll have no idea how to get out ) and terrorize them with what sort of fate he has in mind for them . eventually it develops that his revenge for the girls having tormented him and put him in so much emotional pain will be to sell them to human traffickers , and he actually turns kaley over to a tall , intimidating - looking guy \u2014 only the guy reneges on paying john , so he takes the other two girls back to his hideout . the one true good guy in all this is the detective the police put in charge of finding the kidnapped girls , kathy schumaker ( a marvelously hard - edged performance by alexandra paul ) , who is able to trace nick and get him to rat out john . though nick has no idea where john is holding the girls , avery manages to make a call on a cell phone she concealed on her person and the police are able to use that signal to trace where they are and rescue them \u2014 though not before john becomes a true figure of pathos as he makes a speech about how sorry he is that his desire for love and companionship led to all this , and then shoots himself .\nconradt is very passionate about these topics and has studied the motivations behind teen crime ( peer pressure and lack of understanding consequences are among them ) , as well as internet crimes , in which the world wide web gives folks a new way to commit old - fashioned wrongdoing . she published a paper in the international journal of cyber criminology on the adrian ghighina online auction fraud case .\nthe same goes with the characters . throughout the movie , none of them has any sort of growth or development at all . even with all the relatively big changes that happened in their lives , the sad guy remained sad ; the meanest girl remained the meanest , the least determinant girl was still the least determinant one , and the girl who knew a tiny little better than everyone else didn\u2019t learn to know even an inch more .\nit will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the wiki 2 technology .\nreturning show : the final season of the western drama \u201chell on wheels\u201d ( amc at 9 ) begins with cullen bohannon ( anson mount ) joining the rush to finish the first transcontinental railroad .\nwhen a woman and her boyfriend are injured in a car crash , he is left with a leg injury which requires them to hire a nurse , but the woman they select is more trouble than she appears .\nfrom the dramatic music scoring , the impressively contrasty lighting , and the mass use of close - ups on characters\u2019 facial expressions , i am sure the intention was to let audiences take a part in the world it created rather than just be the indifferent spectators . but again , we can\u2019t always get what we want , can we ? that\u2019s the rule of life , and that\u2019s also the rule of filmmaking .\nkaley is prank - obsessed and doesn\u2019t want to live the normal life , using the prank website as a longshot way to escape going to college and getting a job . kaley just wants to be rich and live the easy life . this drives her to search out bigger stunts to pull for more views , likes , and follows , to sell the site or even land a tv gig out of it . she\u2019s the mastermind behind the latest stunt , setting up a fake profile on a meet foreign women / mail order bride site . she\u2019s even already been in contact with her intended target before she reveals it to the other girls , but doesn\u2019t explain how far she is going to go until it\u2019s too late to stop it . he\u2019s going to get so pranked by her !\na police detective follows a trail of evidence that eventually seems to lead to his trusted partner ' s ex - con brother who he helped put in prison years ago .\nwhat starts out as a harmless online prank takes a dark turn for 17 - year - old avery lindstrom ( anne winters ) when her friends , mandy kim ( lauren gaw ) and kaley mack ( annalisa cochrane ) , create a fake profile for an international dating website and begin to communicate with a lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john bennett ( travis hammer ) . having lived a life of isolation and bullying , john becomes consumed by his desire for revenge after learning he was catfished by the girls . doing some digging online , john finds that the photo of his nonexistent\ngirlfriend\nwas actually that of a deceased filipina model , then uncovers the identities of the three girls who played him like a fool on their blog with their cruel prank . while both avery and mandy feel bad for what they did to him and show some remorse , kaley doesn ' t , being the\nmean girl\nof their school .\nso this review has been out for a while but we ' re just seeing it . pretty funny stuff ( be sure to read the captions under the stills ) . props to the writer , and glad she liked the movie .\n: the media never reported how we really met john . they said he found us using social media . the reality is , we found him . we preyed on him . if you poke a lion with a stick , is it his fault for attacking you ? i ' m not saying any of us deserved what he did . nothing gives you the right to hurt someone else even if they bully you . but that goes for kaley , too . she had no right to hurt him either and if she hadn ' t , maybe she ' d still be here .\nthe source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .\nthe three girls have defined personalities , all of which carries over after they are abducted . mandy immediately tattles on kaley for planning everything and bickers with her when the two are chained up . kaley continues insulting and even spitting on john , thinking she is still in control and that he is the contemptible weakling she was mocking . avery responds with mature logic , trying to get john to talk , be calm , answer questions , and appear that she\u2019s trying to make a connection with him so he doesn\u2019t go overboard , but kaley\u2019s insults keeps that from happening . things just go so well together .\nthe film first had a limited release in canada on may 24 , 2015 . it was then broadcast on the lifetime network in the united states on july 18 , 2015 .

winning monster movie\nhoping to intervene and catch up with the old man before the local poster children for the nra do , jimmy fuller ( nicholas wright ) makes the decision to call howard ' s estranged , beautiful daughter melanie ( cindy sampson ) . having relocated to the city and cut off all ties with her father after the mysterious death of her mother when she was just a little girl , melanie is hesitant to return to gibbington so instead of owning up to the real reason he is calling , jimmy plays the\nnext of kin\ncard by telling her that her father is close to death .\nwhile on one hand , jimmy\u2019s lie does foreshadow what would happen if the town managed to get hold of the elusive recluse but when melanie surmises the truth , she ' s all set to turn around until she ' s told that he ' s now wanted for brutal murder . although she does not remember jimmy from the youth she ' s tried to block out - - nonetheless the two bond fairly quickly and their rapport is sped up considerably when he introduces her to his mother - - a diner owner who moonlights as a medical healer of sorts , managing to rid melanie of her perpetual headaches that are introduced immediately into the script as a major character trait but are then never referenced again .\nnicely it fills out the 90 minute running time with some excellent character based suspicion and plot twists as predictably we realize that one of the major characters isn ' t perhaps the person we first assumed . in fact the strength of david winning\u2019s work is evidenced whenever it relies on mood , mystery , and evolving character back stories as opposed to when we see the initially\nare in it simply to see that man -

- retaining the same widescreen aspect ratio as it continues , growing in strength audibly as the tension ratchets up in dolby digital surround . thereby , it makes this modern day b movie release much crisper and sharper than the heyday of the b sub -

crab monstrosities that pass for monsters in modern horror movies . and he ' s often around trees , so the underwhelming compositing actually works in the movie ' s favor - he ' s not supposed to be blending into the scenery all that much , so he sticks out but has the same stuff behind him , which keeps it from looking too silly ( relatively speaking i mean ; he ' s still a giant walking tree ) . plus the attacks are cool - impaling with branches and stomping are his mo , and it never got repetitive to me .\nit just goes to show how much the slightest effort in a script can make a difference in the final product . the cast , the budget , the locations . . . all of these things are in line with every other maneater movie , so why does this one work while something like\nis borderline unwatchable ? so many producers or directors are quick to blame the budget for their movie ' s lapses , but i can usually look past budgetary limitations if the script shows some effort . a decent story as the backbone for your bad fx and dull locations can still produce a decent movie ; great fx and a globe -

[ 3 ]\nsimilarly , some folks may see the idea of a soldier without a nation defending a harmless colony as evoking seven samurai ( 1954 ) or the magnificent seven ( 1960 ) , as well .\nall of these merely include references . soldier was actually written with the idea that it was part of the blade runner continuity . total recall , alien , predator , and firefly were not .\nwas directed by paul anderson , who in 1997 gave the world a very effective space - horror film , event horizon . yet soldier feels like a step down from that movie , both in terms of complexity and visualization . there\u2019s a kind of claustrophobia or sound - stage - like feel to soldier\u2019 s exterior scenes , and much footage is recycled ( particularly in a musical montage ) , or slowed down to make it seem more effectively shot\u2026as though not enough good material was captured during production .\nthe power of russell\u2019s strong but vulnerable performance drags soldier over the finish line with a surprising amount of success , but with a little more back -

- sometimes aligned with a hostile military or law enforcement hierarchy - - offers common - sense counsel about his preferred soldier ( john rambo / todd ) , but is routinely ignored . when the military hierarchy , here represented by mekum , fails to defeat that soldier , trautman / church is there to warn that the renegade and \u201creal\u201d soldier has been underestimated , and that his \u201cwar\u201d is righteous .\nas a pastiche of war movies like first blood , soldier resurrects a lot of clich\u00e9s , but for the space age . i noted so above , but the movie has a lot of running from explosions , decoys that fool the bad guys , and other familiar set - pieces . the staging and execution of a lot of the action leaves something to be desired and yet i have returned to watch soldier ( 1998 ) probably three or four times since i saw it in the late 1990s . for all its flaws , the movie does manage to make us care about todd , and mourn the fact that he was taken from his family and made to be a killer .\n) . kyle ' s number well -

bitten reputation , it\u2019s surprising clint eastwood hadn\u2019t got around to directing a world war ii movie before 2006 . but he made up for it with a groundbreaking one - two punch : a pair of films exploring the battle of iwo jima from both the american and japanese perspectives . \u2018flags of our fathers\u2019 was weak , exploring the american culture of war . but \u2018letters from iwo jima\u2019 is stunning , depicting a group of soldiers even more bound by tradition and honour than their american counterparts , trapped in an unwinnable war and dreaming only of home . th\nis a masterpiece . funny to think that american critics looked down their noses at the film at the time of its release . maybe they took offense at the inescapable scent of welles\u2019 passion for rita hayworth , his wife at the time and his ex shortly after production wrapped . he captures her in close -

so director , i don ' t hate his work , but he ' s one of those directors that create popcorn action flicks , and for that , he ' s very capable of doing so , but one thing that his films lack is substance . i don ' t mind his films , and here he makes an entertaining picture with a decent cast of actors . soldier is mindless fun if you ' re in the mood for this sort of film , but it ' s never anything great either . i enjoyed the film , but i also felt it could have been better as well . some ideas here fall flat , and it ' s a shame because the ideas here are quite good , but they never really take off , and in turn the film suffers from being a truly memorable action film . paul w . s anderson is a director that goes for thrills and action and not substance . soldier is fun for what it is , but if you want a bit more , you ' ll sadly be disappointed . soldier could have been a great film , but as it is , it ' s an action film that is mindless popcorn entertainment , and if you enjoy these types of films , you might like this one . however , at the same time , you can only wonder how good the film would have been if the script would have been better thought out .\nthanks for the comment . always love to hear from people that have seen this film . the performance from kurt russell is amazing and the best of his career . those scenes with the settlers are also very good . as i said above , i just really , really wish that these scenes and this performance had been encased in a better film . the film suffered from the wrong director and some bad choices of actors to play off kurt russell . this could have a much better film .\ncarl franklin\u2019s excellent early \u201990s neo -

[ note to readers : i ' m not against pure cinema ; i just generally can ' t handle it for more than thirty minutes and i find it difficult to write about . ] the plot may be minimal and the film may primarily define itself visually but those two factors intersect to provide the film with a multi - layered subtext . first , as roger ebert has noted in his great movies essay , the film is about the difficulty of communication between two separate cultures . secondly , you can read the film and its devastating conclusion as a tale about modernization ' s effects on native culture . what types of struggles must an immigrant / colonized subject face when they are integrated into an industrialized society ? third , you can read the film as a love story between the young aborigine boy on his walkabout ( a coming of age ritual in which a boy fends for himself and , if he returns , is declared a man ) and a white woman who is attracted to him , but unable to relate to him .\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nwalkabout suggests that living off a harsh , natural land is tough work . you have scorpions , ants , dehydration and other challenges to overcome . you have to find water and hunt for your supper . but i believe the film ' s ultimate point is that there is nothing harsher and more difficult than living a life that goes against your very nature .\nthe film is interspersed with numerous images of australian plant and animal life , along with its varied landscapes . the director often uses those images to emphasize events in the plot and set the emotional tone , most notably during the violent scene involving the rifle hunters . though many of the events are impossible in a natural setting\u2014in one scene a wombatwanders past the sleeping children in the middle of a desert\u2014they create a backdrop of a populous , varied environment . in walkabout , an analysis of the film , author louis nowra wrote :\nthis critique of civilization recurs throughout the film . for instance , as mentioned above , the boy and the girl find an oasis of life in the desert - -\nelectronic dance only appears in small bits in the film , not as a whole track and is near the end when the children find the abandoned ' village ' .\nno not really . i used to we used to make model aeroplanes out of balsa wood but move that over . we ' re not on film are we ?\nthe best film to partner with the film is perhaps the aforementioned wake in fright . the films share a release date and setting , while offering similarly robust perspectives on the outback . while wake in fright eschews the indigenous perspective to consider the white man\u2019s corruption in the australian wilderness \u2013 kangaroo hunting and gambling and brawling and far , far too many beers . taken in concert with walkabout , the two films offer a complex and complete \u2013 if not entirely complimentary \u2013 portrait of australia\u2019s outskirts as it was perceived some 45 years ago .\nthe film\u2019s regular use of montage and intercutting emphasises roeg\u2019s trademark \u201crather bizarre attitudes towards time\u201d ( his own words ) . as in his follow - up , don\u2019t look now , walkabout eschews the linear conventions of commercial cinema for something ambiguous and amorphous . there\u2019s the suggestion that roeg\u2019s curious atemporality is inspired by aboriginal culture , unbound by the rigidity of clocks and schedules .\nwe revisit nicolas roeg ' s 1971 coming - of - age classic , ' walkabout ' ( now available at sbs on demand ) , and the questions it raised about race , civilisation and sexuality .\nsoon , the girl and boy encounter an aborigine teenager ( david gulpilil ) on a\nwalkabout ,\na rite of passage in which young men trace the heritage of their ancestors on the land .\nothers who saw it on its initial release will share those memories , but at the same time , some have raised questions about nowra ' s views on the film .\ngulpilil , born in 1953 , had appeared in aboriginal dance troupes , and went on to a long career in australian film and television roles . he is credited as gumpilil .\nwalkabout ' s obvious concern is the relationship between two parties , separated by centuries of diverting societal behaviors , and thus , differentiated perceptions of sexual roles and etiquette . but what ensues is more ambiguous and interpretative .\nthe pessimism of the conclusion may be inappropriate to australia , and particularly to aboriginal life today , but perhaps we can see walkabout as a memorial representation of all those indigenous peoples who have died in the colonising process .\nafter the initial mixed and muddled box office reception , the film has gone on to attract all kinds of critical attention , and been accepted into the canon of australian - manufactured films .\nspeaking from london , the 70 - year - old film - maker is unsurprised that the film has aged so well , citing the essential timelessness of the story :\nwhat interests me is always the same thing : a simple story about life and being alive , not covered with sophistry , but addressing the most basic human themes : birth , death , mutability .\nare these two films just exercises in melancholy voyeurism ? apparently so , unless one is to take roeg\u2019s clodhopper homilies seriously such as the quote from a . e . housman near the end of walkabout , which transforms the victorian\u2019s genteel stoicism into an edgar guest platitude . apparently so , unless one is to find the references to borges in performance carrying the film to a more philosophical level than business equals crime .\na young sister and brother are abandoned in the harsh australian outback and must learn to cope in the natural world , without their usual comforts , in this hypnotic masterpiece from nicolas roeg . along the way , they meet a young aborigine on his \u201cwalkabout , \u201d a rite of passage in which adolescent boys are initiated into manhood by journeying into the wilderness alone . walkabout is a thrilling adventure as well as a provocative rumination on time and civilization .\nin his commentary roeg disclaims putting up the opening title explaining the ' walkabout ' , suggesting either twentieth century fox did it , or someone else did it on their behalf . he says he dislikes that kind of explanatory device .\nthe roger ebert essay that accompanied the dvd release is available on the criterion website ( at time of writing ) here , while paul ryan takes a lengthier look on the same website under the header walkabout : landscapes of memory .\nthe film\u2019s most surreal , and strangely wonderful sequence occurs when the aborigine , misconstruing the girl\u2019s gratitude for love , performs a ritualistic courting dance for her . it is a scene that ends almost as quickly \u2014 and silently \u2014 as it begins , but the subsequent events will forever change both people\u2019s lives . as the film concludes , everything is brought full circle , with a twist .\nwith the outback serving as both a backdrop and character in the film ' s narrative , and by marshaling a voice - over poem at just the right moment ( from alfred edward housman ' s 1896 work\na shropshire lad ,\n) roeg crafts an immensely emotional film ; one that will deeply affect you for days after a screening . this is even more the case now , since roeg ' s director ' s cut is featured on the blu ray edition rather than the original theatrical release ( which trimmed much of the film ' s full frontal nudity ) .\nonly in the film ' s last scene , do we see an older , reflective woman consider the aborigine boy ; and what he meant in her life ; and what he gave to her . she imagines a scene right out of paradise : the three wanderers in the desert frolicking in the water ; on a rock . it is an image of lost innocence , and it is the image we leave on in walkabout .\nearly in the film , for example , we see agutter ' s character setting - up a blanket and picnic lunch out in harsh desert ; clearly a misguided attempt to tame the unspoiled earth . while she imposes mankind ' s sense of order on the desert , the film cross - cuts to views of lizards and other inhabitants , going about their business , oblivious to her attempts .\nhickling - hudson , a . ,\nwhite construction of black identity in australian films about aborigines ,\nin literature / film quarterly ( salisbury , maryland ) , no . 4 , 1990 .\nroeg and agutter were in separate locations when their contribution to the commentary was recorded , but each offer insights into the film and the making of it , and their thoughts chime together reasonably well .\n\u201csee the difference between artificiality and naturalness . you and i can see it in this image or set of images , but the characters in the film cannot , and this is our superiority . \u201d\nwalkabout ' s ending diagrams the death of innocence . gulpilil ' s character has learned that he cannot adapt to the strange rules of modern\ncivilization .\nand in that coda - - set years after his demise - agutter ' s sense of hoplessness is tangible . it reflects , purposefully , the little boy ' s sense of defeat early in the film , upon reckoning with the unending desert , one stretching to unknown horizons .\ni think the film is neutral about such goals . like its lizards that sit unblinking in the sun , it has no agenda for them . it sees the life of civilization as arid and unrewarding , but only easy idealism allows us to believe that the aborigine is any happier , or his life more rewarding ( the film makes a rather unpleasant point of the flies constantly buzzing around him ) .\nbut returned to modern civilization ( and bred to that civilization ) , agutter ' s character cannot make the same leap . instead , she denies any feeling she might have for the aborigine boy and falls back on the\netiquette\nof her culture . early in walkabout we see her practicing etiquette lessons while listening to a program on the radio ; and that ' s the very world the english girl retreats to at film ' s end .\nthe appeal of roeg\u2019s films to date rests on different qualities for different audiences . for the user of mild psychedelic drugs , performance , and to a lesser extent the other two films , provides a great multiplicity of visual and aural inputs . however the users often confuse the undeniable plethora of impressions , and its pleasantness , with indicating a meaningfulness and aesthetic complexity which is not there on sober examination . somewhat overlapping this audience is the appeal of the first two films to late adolescents , who seek in film art an experience , a knowledge , a statement in a somewhat different form . this too , roeg certainly provides , but exploring \u201cidentity\u201d rather than \u201cbeing\u201d has its limits for viewers who have moved on from the former to the latter in their own experience . for people especially interested in film as an art , roeg is very interesting in his willingness to exploit film as film and for his ability to work in the commercial feature system successfully while pushing the uniquely filmic over standard melodramatic film narrative . with don ' t look now roeg demonstrated his appeal for film goers who prefer classy entertainment , though he did so by focusing on characters and a life style that seems right out of the ad pages of the new yorker .\ni ' m getting in a walkabout mood in anticipation of the march 5th screening at the nft ( with jenny agutter and luc roeg attending ) and i was wondering about an aspect of the film which i haven ' t seen analysed . at the beginning a voice says\nfaites vos jeux , monsieurs , dames s ' il vous plait\n, and at the end a title comes up which reads\nrien ne va plus\n. i must admit it took several viewings of the film before i even noticed these , probably because the volume of the voiceover is quite low and the closing title is probably chopped off from many tv ( and even cinema ) prints .\nperhaps more plainly , the destruction of the desert oasis and its resources is referenced late in the film when the boy and the girl come across a similar setting , writ large : a virtually abandoned mining town .\nfor a film made in australia at the time , the soundtrack is relatively advanced , with the sound effects , and the effects - laden music , and the radio , contributing to the sense of a tone poem .\nis\nwalkabout\nonly about what it seems to be about ? is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that ' s what the film ' s surface seems to suggest , but i think it ' s also about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication . it ends with lives that are destroyed , in one way or another , because two people could not invent a way to make their needs and dreams clear .\nwalkabout \u2019s screenplay , written by english playwright edward bond , is famously spare ; roeg described it as a \u201cfourteen - page prose poem . \u201d with such a slender script , the production thus relied on improvisation . consequentially , the final product tends to rely more on images than dialogue to tell its story ( a familiar feature of roeg\u2019s filmography ) . this suits the way the film emphasises on the difficulty of authentic communication throughout , whether in the trappings of \u2018civilised\u2019 society or in the australian wilderness \u2013 as discussed in ebert\u2019s aforementioned review , where he argues that walkabout is about the \u201cmystery of communication , \u201d noting that \u201cthe crucial detail is that the two teenagers never find a way to communicate , not even by using sign language . \u201d\ndominated by dazzling photography , gorgeous images and a lush john barry score , walkabout ably serves up a side - by - side comparison between disparate worlds : city life in modern adelaide ( though it looks like sydney ) and the wild , untamed life of the outback . unexpectedly , the crueler , more savage and difficult world , according to the film , is that of the modern and\ncivilized\nman . in the desert , at least , you can understand your enemies .\na final voice over ends the film on a melancholy and wistful note .\nthat is the land of lost content / i see it shining plain / the happy highways where i went / and cannot come again .\n\u201cis it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that\u2019s what the film\u2019s surface suggests , but i think it\u2019s about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication . \u201d [ 7 ]\nwalkabout : drama . starring jenny agutter , david gumpilil and lucien john . directed and photographed by nicholas roeg . written by edward bond .

no one ' s biting on the comments . or else you ' ve been too busy to mod them , perhaps . anyway , i read half of your review yesterday , and then sought out the film and watched it for myself . i ' ve just come back and read the remainder of your review and from my perspective , you nailed it . the imagery is very much\nin your face\nand the film pulls no punches in displaying the sharp contrasts between\nmodern\nlife and the natural symbiotic relationship between the aborigine and the outback . reading some other online reviews paint the film is being exploitative of the young actress , but in viewing the film that concept was farthest from my mind . i thought the director skillfully used just about every shot to evoke a natural emotional reaction that was completely inline with his message . the freaky 1960 ' s - 1970 ' s vibe is prevalent throughout and , being a child of the 70 ' s , i thoroughly enjoyed every drop of it . i ' d never seen or heard of this film before reading your review . thank you for sharing it with us john . - nick\ncinematically , the contrasts in roeg\u2019s films are continuous . in walkabout , for example , the urban children are first seen together in a swimming pool next to a body of natural water . their western urban clothing is contrasted with the native\u2019s belt of snakes . the urban pair rely on verbal language and find security in the voices on their transistor radio , while communication with the young hunter is effective only through gesture , etc . at times roeg\u2019s fascination with visual antonyms is almost bludgeoning . the native hunts with spear and hands while europeans are shown killing game with a rifle fired from a jeep . cutting apart a kangaroo for dinner in the wild is opposed to an urban butcher shop . a burning auto is crosscut with a roasting animal carcass . these juxtapositions\u2014and walkabout is especially loaded with them - are a l\u00e9vi - strauss type of structuralist\u2019s perfect data . . . but they lack any especial meaning . in walkabout the establishing sequence at the beginning gives us the contrast , but the contrast is then continued for the rest of the film in an all too predictable vein .\nwalkabout was on tcm lastnight . i had never heard of the film , nor did i watch it from the begining . i missed the part about the father , and i mistakenly assumed he died in a car accident while the childen were unharmed . i found your commentary while searching online to learn more about the movie . after reading several different review sites i ' m dismayed no one thought it odd that none of the dialog of any of the aboriginals is subtitled . the film would seem to be very much about city vs nature , loss of innocence , commentary on isolation in proximity , etc . what got my attention is during the entire film there is an entire culture left mute only in so much as we have no idea what any of the aboriginals are saying . for all we know they could have been told by the director to speak gibberish , or they are talking about us in front of our faces - they see us as children dependent on our toys . in this i wondered if the film mocked the viewers . there is more concern about nudity of the girl than the tacit silencing of the native culture . how very missionary ! ! the irony ! ! ! ! in the end i was insulted that the aboriginal boy took his life over the rejection from the girl . it was great for the shock value but for me the film leapt from a plausable commentary filled with symbolism to a cliche designed to ruffle english sensibilties .\ntaken in toto , this threatens to mythologise and romanticise indigenous australian culture . indeed , it\u2019s easy to regard gulpilil\u2019s character as the epitome of the reductive \u201cnoble savage\u201d stereotype : pure , simple , idealised . this is tempered , somewhat , by the prominence of death within the film \u2013 suicides and burnt - out cars and abandoned towns and fields filled with buffalo bones . walkabout expands upon the book\u2019s comparatively simple conception of aboriginal culture as \u201cdevoted to one purpose\u2026 the battle with death\u201d by portraying death with unvarnished , brutal honesty .\nthe most effective parallels and contrasts in performance involve identities , social roles , sexual roles , disguises , costumes , and performances . in the last analysis it adds up to permutations without profundity . roeg puts the film characters and the film audience through a lot of changes , but to no apparent end . granted , that carefully going through the film one can find traces of references to jorge luis borges , bergman\u2019s persona , painters francis bacon , richard hamilton , and peter blake . but in the flow of the film they are not picked up , or if they are ( merged faces from persona , a pretty obvious one ) , they don ' t add anything , not even self - congratulation at having caught it . if the outside references mean anything , particularly to a stoned audience , it is merely as part of the cultural ambiance of our times , and it would be pretentious to make anything out of it as far as criticism of the film goes . but , one feels roeg really is trying to make something more out of his films than simple mental massages or mind candy for freaks . in a recent sight and sound interview ( winter 1973 - 74 ) he confesses his\nbut the film doesn\u2019t present these two cultures as equals , instead according the aboriginal traditions with a sense of purity absent from \u2018civilised\u2019 culture . this is explicated as the film progresses ; a scene involving weather balloonists stationed in the outback is overtly farcical , while footage of white hunters shooting buffalo for sport earns tears from gulpilil\u2019s silent observer . with a montage of abandoned buffalo corpses , roeg positions the white man\u2019s hunting as cruel and excessive , in contrast to the aborigine\u2019s purposeful communion with nature .\nthe idea for the film - the eventual script started at a reputed fourteen or so pages , and in the end ran no longer than fifty eight or sixty pages - came from the novel by james vance marshall , first published in 1959 .\nconsidered on its most basic terms as a deeply moving and occasionally disturbing drama that features consistently astonishing cinematography , walkabout is entirely successful . as a subtly , almost casually polemic work , it is certain to compel just about any viewer to consider the world , and their preconceptions , in a slightly ( or radically ) different way . on deeper levels , the film\u2019s refreshing lack of calculated profundity allows the arresting vistas of the australian outback \u2014 at once gorgeous and grim \u2014 to serve as both setting and a wordless commentary that speaks volumes .\nthose entranced by walkabout \u2019s disregard for linear time and exploitation of disorienting editing would do well to investigate roeg\u2019s early filmography . the likes of don\u2019t look now , the man who fell to the earth and the controversial thriller bad timing demonstrate the unique ambiguity that made roeg an important arthouse director .\nthe movie takes its title from a custom among the australian aborigines : during the transition to young manhood , an adolescent aborigine went on a\nwalkabout\nof six months in the outback , surviving ( or not ) depending on his skills at hunting , trapping and finding water in the wilderness .\nis it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers ? that ' s what the film ' s surface seems to suggest , but i think it ' s also about something deeper and more elusive : the mystery of communication ."]}

black , serious - minded tone , starting with its opening monologue all the way through to the bleak ending . a lot of horror filmmakers feel the need to insert moments of levity into otherwise bleak movies , whether it & apos ; s the introduction of goofy paranormal investigators or a bumbling cop . how important was it for you to maintain the film & apos ; s straight - faced bleakness throughout ? yeah , and that & apos ; s what i loved about certain films in the genre . if you & apos ; re going to make a horror film , then make a horror film . just really go for broke and make a waking nightmare , like that experience i had with the texas chainsaw massacre . but there & apos ; s maybe one or two moments of humor in the canal , maybe with the detective .\nclaire brings over the processed film and david insists that she watch it with him . while david prepares the projector , claire mentions how david called her in hysterics the night before , although he claims that it was not he on the phone . together , they view the footage david shot at the canal and they watch as the shadowy woman rises from the grass and approaches the camera . simultaneously , the woman emerges from the hole in david\u2019s bedroom wall and pulls claire into the crawlspace .\nmcnamara informs david that the police found a hammer in the canal with david\u2019s fingerprints on it . david tells mcnamara about the 1902 murders and the ghost he believes is haunting the home . mcnamara reports david\u2019s mental state to the authorities and children\u2019s services threatens to take away billy .\nin conjunction with the world premiere of the documentary film finding vivian maier the maloof collection is happy to announce an exhibition of vivian maier ' s work at the isa spalding . . .\nthings get worse for david after that\u2014much , much worse . as he begins losing his mind , kavanagh goes all out with the canal & apos ; s horrific imagery . david sees the 1902 murder take place in his bedroom , and it & apos ; s an ferociously brutal stabbing incident partly seen as an old - school film reel ; he later sees a grime - covered , possibly inhuman female figure standing in the tall grass alongside the canal ; figures in the film reels break the fourth wall , the - ending - of - the - ring style ; and there & apos ; s a child birthing sequence that , well , just needs to be seen . words won & apos ; t do it justice here .\n\u201cwho wants to see ghosts ? \u201d a cinema archivist asks a theater full of restless kids in \u201cthe canal , \u201d making a clever pitch to convince those who\u2019ve never watched anything before the dawn of sound or color to give silent pics a try : it\u2019s the best way to see dead people . little does the mild - mannered film buff realize , [ \u2026 ]\nthe discovery of his home & apos ; s bloody past coincides with david & apos ; s mounting suspicions that his wife is cheating on him , which he confirms by catching her and another guy in the act . that night , though , alice goes missing , later to be found dead in a canal . mere feet away from the same canal where , the morning after seeing her having sex with someone else , david woke up on the floor of a dirty , graffiti - laden bathroom , having seen what he believed to be the man in the\ncrime scene\nfilm strangling alice the night before .\nthe film , which follows the story of a five - man tank crew during the last two weeks of wwii , has received mixed reviews , but undoubtedly had some effect on the audience , as evidenced by the audible energy in the room every time a cannon or gunshot rang out . after the two hour , 14 minute film played for the packed theater , ayer and the core cast members ,\nrachel has served as an ifta jury member and was one of the best in film / animation judges for the satellite broadband digital media awards ( 2010 ) .\nits karlovy vary international film festival time ! we will be here for a few more days soaking up the films , the people , and this beautiful town .\nvivian maier at fundaci\u00f3n canal isabel ii virtually unknown photographer vivian maier took close to 200 , 000 photographs while she worked for over 40 years as a nanny primarily on chicago\u2019s . . .\nrachel o\u2019flanagan has worked in the irish film industry for 17 years . she is experienced in developing and script editing feature films and television dramas .\nas effective as the cinematic experience is , \u201cthe canal\u201d is not without cracks in its foundation . although the film works as a supernatural mystery , the script aims for a two - front assault on david by giving him a more earthly police investigation to contend with , too . the problem is , the angle of david\u2019s possible involvement in his wife\u2019s disappearance doesn\u2019t have the same teeth as a crime drama that it does as a hallucinogenic haunting .\nthe canal has plenty of jump scares , often born out of the loud , discordant clangs of the soundtrack ( particularly when david is changing the reels on a projector to torment himself with more unsettling footage of the sins that were once committed in his house ) , and it has plenty of gore . but the terror of the canal stems from something much deeper than blood or loud bangs . it is the terror of abject certainty - certainty that everything will get worse , much worse , before all of this is over .\nsat down to discuss the rigorous training required of them for the film . given the cast\u2019s reflections , ayer\u2019s directorial style and pre - production process clearly took a toll on the actors physically and emotionally .\nand yet , the canal doesn\u2019t feel like anything special . it doesn\u2019t hook the same way movies like the babadook or sinister do and that\u2019s its biggest downfall . rupert evans gives a fantastic performance , but the character of david is bland and uninteresting . the movie also goes through a lull period where very little happens and the stock - scares that you\u2019ve seen a dozen times this year alone fail to cut the mustard . if the movie didn\u2019t have a terrific close and a few other great scenes , the canal really wouldn\u2019t be worth your time .\nin the wake of his wife\u2019s unexplained disappearance , a film archivist uncovers a supernatural link between his house and a 100 -

worker , he discovers that she is having an affair and when she turns up dead in a canal , he is the number one suspect . however , david seems to think the house is haunted and the sinister happenings are what caused her death .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ndavid ayer \u2019s graphic world war ii film , \u201c fury , \u201d had its final press screening on thursday night at lincoln center before its wide theatrical release today . the director and his star - studded cast have been all over the place promoting the film , even at fort benning , home to the u . s . armor and infantry schools .\nfor the past 12 years , journalist paul moreira has travelled extensively in iraq . in this personal film , he goes in search of the men he filmed back . . .\na good psychological horror that ably blends the line between reality and psychosis . probably elevated by the skills of the lead more than anything else , and my favourite police officer in horror film history .\nas the canal progresses , david starts to become unhinged . when his wife prepares to go to work , david pleads with her to come straight him and she promises to . after work , david follows her as she and alex , their affair now obviously confirmed , walk to alex\u2019s house which is opposite a canal . david follows them from a distance , and catches them in the midst of sexual passion , leaving him feeling betrayed . he stumbles into the worst cinematic toilet seen since danny boyle\u2019s trainspotting ( 1996 ) and begins to see flashes of the murder that occurred well over 100 years ago . like the best ghost stories , the canal presents us with images that give us pause to determine if they are real or are just happening in the mind of the protagonist .\nthere\u2019s a lot of james wan inspiration going on in the canal , and kavanagh proves that he can do wan as well as wan can do wan . from the color palette to the sound design , the canal feels very much like something wan would make , which is needless to say a major compliment . but there\u2019s also a good deal of japanese horror inspiration going on here , particularly when it comes to one scene during the finale that is sure to make those little hairs on the back of your neck stand at attention .\nas far as the acting , everyone comports themselves admirably . inexperienced ( read : bad ) actors can relegate a genre film to the status of b - movie , a problem which\nand while the canal is brooding , it will test the patients of some viewers , and could really use a more impactful finale . still , it\u2019s refreshing to see a filmmaker show such restraint and put together such an old - school genre haunter .\nwith fans massed on the banks of the grand canal , a drone flying overhead , and waterborne paparazzi swarming behind his taxi all the way from the island of giudecca , george clooney arrived at sunset for his wedding reception in the kind of grand spectacle that only the very rich and very glamorous can ever hope to pull off .\nis a ghost story , and from the looks of this trailer probably one that comes in the best sense of those words . one of our top priorities to see during the fest , tribeca describes the film as such :\n' the stag ' ( which is renamed ' the bachelor weekend ' for the american market ) will also screen at the film festival , at which it will receive its us premiere .

murder mystery . shadowy creature lurking in the corners of the room . is he insane or is he not ? the kid ! protect the kid ! is there someone living in the walls ? the babysitter . demons . occult rituals . . . well , you get the point . but i ' ve seldom , in more modern times , seen all of these ingredients being so well executed as in the canal , i even got one of those fantastic endings that i love ( which maybe is the biggest reason for the four star rating ) .\ninjecting explicit imagery into an old - fashioned possession story , writer - director ivan kavanagh brandishes his unusual mix of styles right from the beginning . no sooner has david williams ( rupert evans , handsome but bland ) introduced the aforementioned film screening than \u201cthe canal\u201d launches into a quick - cut archival footage montage , not unlike the one seen in \u201cthe ring\u201d \u2014 though it\u2019s clearly not the movie he\u2019d planned to show the kids , setting the tone with appetite - endangering imagery of naked corpses , exposed entrails and an eyeball being probed .\nflash forward five years : david and his wife , alice ( hannah hoekstra ) , are living in a century - old house in dublin . his job as a film archivist typically isn\u2019t all that exciting ( one of alice\u2019s colleagues dismisses him as a \u201clibrarian\u201d ) , until a box of old crime - scene film strips lands on his desk . among them are a few reels from 1902 that depict a woman\u2019s body being hauled from the canal that runs alongside david\u2019s home . to his considerable shock , david realizes that the murder actually took place at the address where he lives now .\ndavid secretly trails his wife one evening and follows her to alex\u2019s house . david sneaks inside and observes the couple having sex . david grabs a hammer , but leaves without taking any action and without being seen . on his walk home , david throws the hammer into the canal . feeling nauseous over what he just witnessed , david stumbles into the public toilet next to the waterway and vomits . he then sees an image of a mysterious man outside the stall door . david stumbles back outside in a haze and collapses . before passing out , david appears to see the strange man assaulting alice alongside the canal .\nthe canal is the biggest surprise that i ' ve come across in the horror genre for a while now ( if it can even be classified as horror ; i ' d almost rather go with the term experimental thriller ) . it is also , however , an immensely depressing plunge into one of the darkest abysses that the genre has to offer .\nannecy international animation film festival has just finished with a historic number of visitors including 11 , 700 badgeholders , which was 17 % more than in 2017 .\nwhich images in the canal surprised you the most after you came up with them ? to where you were like ,\nwow , i came up with that ? i & apos ; m sick .\n[ laughs . ] at the premiere , one thing that occurred to me is that there & apos ; s actually very little violence in the film , but the violence that is in there , particularly the stabbing scene , i wanted to be very forceful . by making that stabbing scene so hardcore and visceral and happening so early into the film , it leaves a heavy shadow over the rest of the film , so that you don & apos ; t really have to out anymore violence in after that . i think that works and unsettles people . also , the birth scene at the end of the film\u2014to me , that felt like the perfect nightmare image . he was literally being confronted by the awful thing he & apos ; s done . this should be a joyous thing\u2014she should be giving birth to this child but he & apos ; s denied her that , and this is now the true horror of what he & apos ; s done .\ndavid reports alice\u2019s disappearance to the police when she doesn\u2019t come home . detective mcnamara immediately suspects that david killed her . alice\u2019s body is eventually found in the canal , but the coroner finds no signs of foul play and rules her death an accidental drowning . the coroner also reveals that alice was pregnant at the time of her death .\ndavid ( rupert evans ) is a film archivist who appears to have a wonderful home life . but as we learned in eden lake ( 2008 ) , the appearance of normalcy at the start of the film will soon give way to murder and mayhem . david and his very obviously expectant wife alice ( hannah hoekstra ) visit a prospective house to settle in as a family .\ni was going to go into a rant about how the word\ncanal\nis the most disgusting sounding word to ever come out of my mouth thanks to my western new york - learned pronunciation , but i ' ll spare you the navel - gazing ( no i won ' t , i still mentioned it , you still know that if you heard me say the word\ncanal\nyou ' d probably have to ask me to repeat it a few times while stifling laughter , the disgusting sounding word is only rivaled by my pronunciation of\nbagel\n) .\nsound design plays a major role in building the tension , especially during the surreal montages and newsreel footage utilized throughout the film . the crackle and hiss of audio noise highlights every synaptic misfire of david ' s deteriorating mindstate . props are also due the atmospheric score from\nan authentic universal movie camera from 1915\nto film some scenes , which was\nthought to have filmed some action in the trenches during world war 1 .\npretty cool .\nbut instead of looking for heat from the first match strike and a fiery flame , those who let the wick wither and light the room with subtle atmosphere will find their patience rewarded . combining elements of \u201cthe shining\u201d and \u201cthe ring\u201d for a ghost story built on supernatural suspense , \u201cthe canal\u201d is the very definition of a slow - burn psychological thriller , and an excellent one at that .\ngoing back to the film & apos ; s visuals , do those come into your head first and then you backtrack from there and develop the story , or do the story and characters come first and dictate the imagery ? the way i work is , i start with an initial idea . i wanted to make a film with an archivist who suspects his wife is cheating on him . it & apos ; s almost like a stream - of - consciousness style of writing . i begin at the beginning of the script and work my way through it . for this film , i wanted to create a nightmare - like atmosphere throughout it , to have it remain in the main character & apos ; s point - of - view as if he & apos ; s stuck in a nightmare ; the further the film goes on , the more and more nightmarish it becomes .\nchalkroom a . k . a . la camera insabbiata by laurie anderson + hsin - chien huang received the award for best vr experience at the 74th venice international film festival . it was the first time that the festival has held a vr competition .\nit\u2019s bizarre because kavanagh produces some genuinly creepy moments and good scares . his shot choices can be very chilling and his use of sound will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck . he never uses his scares in quick succession either so you\u2019re constantly on the edge of your seat waiting for the next one to come . the final moments of the film are superb and easily the best parts of the film as kavanagh pushes the boundaries of socially acceptable images with frightening visuals that will linger with you long after the credits roll .\nbefore joining treasure she worked for the darklight film festival and with sister production company still films , working on shorts , animation , documentaries and feature films , including tommy palotta\u2019s emmy - winning the last hijack .\nthe canal isn & apos ; t your first horror film , correct ? i made a really low - budget horror film called tin can man ( 2008 ) which is actually being released at the end of this month here in america . i made that for under 1 , 000 euro . i loved working on that because horror films allow you to do absolutely anything . you can push the visuals and sound design as far as you want . i just love the freedom of the genre , so i was really , really eager to get back to it . and any chance to make something about early cinema is exciting for me because i love early cinema and silent cinema .\ndavid williams lives an average , yet idyllic life . a film archivist by trade , david has a gorgeous wife in alice , and a happy young son named billy . five years after moving into a curious little house situated near a canal , david\u2019s mind begins a trip down a jack torrance - like rabbit hole inspired by suspicions of his wife\u2019s infidelity and the discovery of a horrific slaughter that once took place in his home .\ni say this because it increasingly seems as if slant is swinging towards criticism over reviewing by posting articles that appear to assume that the viewer has seen the film . reading this article , i don ' t have the foggiest idea what the premise is .\nwith shades of sinister and the shining , the canal follows david williams ( an impressive rupert evans ) , a film archivist who & apos ; s married to a much more financially successful wife , alice ( hannah hoekstra ) and the father of a dinosaur - loving , five - year - old son , billy ( calum heath ) . one day , david & apos ; s colleague claire ( antonia campbell - hughes ) tells him that a mysterious reel of film has shown up , addressed to him\u2014it & apos ; s titled\ncrime scene ,\nmade in 1902 and shows the aftermath of a triple murder that took place in the house where david and his family currently live .\nupon secretly spying his wife alice engaged in sexual intercourse with her lover alex , david grasps a hammer and briefly contemplates brutal vengeance . a cooler head prevails however , and david makes his unnoticed exit without taking action . into the canal he tosses the hammer before shuffling towards home in frustration .\nmost of the real people who were involved are alive to tell their tales , although aids casts its shadow in the events of the film and has taken several lgsm members ( this is not pride ' s primary subject but readers who would prefer not to know anything about its impact on the film should stop reading here ) . beresford ' s problem was how to make contact with the survivors from the mining community and lgsm with no obvious internet trail to help him .\nbut thankfully it does have these moments which certainly means the canal gets a recommendation . it will scare the easily squeamish and kavanagh\u2019s direction is first class , but you won\u2019t find anything truly groundbreaking . it\u2019s a lot better than some of the ghost story movies that have come out in recent years , but it also isn\u2019t among the best .\nthe precise arrangements are being kept under wraps due to strict confidentiality agreements , but according to italian reports the main reception is to take place on saturday at the \u201c7 - star\u201d aman canal grande resort and is to be attended by a select group of startlingly stellar guests including angelina jolie , brad pitt and matt damon .\na film that at first seemed worthy of an heir to lynch , fincher or polanski ' s cinema but ends up bordering on ridicule .

out cabin . the lighthearted comedy sees them battle love and life to win the most important thing : each other .\n' he posted the picture , which also included rakeysh , and put up a note , which read - ' teen thay bhai aur ek mein ' . he also mentioned the release date . it is really nice of him to do this , ' said the publicist of the film .\n\u201conce they became familiar with each other , chemistry started building in . this was very important because otherwise actors sometimes just land on sets and start reporting for the shoot without any preparations . none of that happened in case of \u2018teen thay bhai\u2019 , \u201d says mehra who had last worked with a ensemble cast in \u2018delhi 6\u2032 .\npvr pictures ltd . and rakeysh omprakash mehra pictures ' 3 thay bhai ( ua ) is the story of three brothers whose grandfather dies , leaving behind property worth crores of rupees , which they can inherit subject to some conditions .\nteen thay bhai is a story of three brothers who are forced to spend their time together because of their grandfather ' s will . later they fight over their ancestral property as they must fulfil their late grandfather ' s wishes , to get it . the movie was directed by rakeysh omprakash mehra under the banner of pvr and rakeysh om prakash mehra pictures .\nteen thay bhai is , in fact , more in the league of the recent gross - out hollywood comedies . it transposes them to a rustic punjabi setting , even throwing in scenes of a punjabi ramlila gone wrong . the tone is loud , the character and performance of both puri and talpade are deliberately over - the - top , jokes are bawdy and the humour scatological .\n\u201c\u2018teen thay bhai\u2019 is \u2018desi\u2019 not just for the sake of it . it was the requirement of the subject that we bring in \u2018desi\u2019 elements in the film\u2019s screenplay . if there was an urban set of brothers then the story wouldn\u2019t have worked and the film would have fallen apart , \u201d says mehra , who handed over the reins of direction to first timer mrigdeep singh lamba .\nchaar din ki chandni . fatoor singh . 20 . chakravyuh . govind suryavanshi . omg : oh my god ! hanif bhai .\nthe story of teen thay bhai is not set in gulmarg , but rakesyh omprakash mehra chose the hill station nestled between the snow - clad himalayas because he had never seen a more beautiful location .\njust before the crew left for the location , a lot of people scared me , saying kahaan jaa rahe ho . but i had gone there for an earlier recce and i found the place stunningly beautiful and there was no way i was going to change my mind ,\nsaid the director , who shot 85 percent of the film over 45 days there .\nit ' s an immensely standard setup , but there is so much that can be done with it . the filmmakers , perplexingly and exasperatingly , however , seem to believe that merely getting three fine actors is enough . had they locked these three men away in a house with just this setup as an acting exercise brief , i can wager they would have improvised something significantly stronger than this . chameleonic artists all , they ' d have dug their teeth into the challenge and provided definite fireworks . teen thay bhai cruelly handcuffs them with a peculiar script and never really gives them any elbow room .\nom puri , who occasionally gets the chance to be shockingly cruel in this film , revels in his ruthlessness . each , as said earlier , shines every now and then , but on the whole , they seem as bored with the film as the people watching it . there is some fun texture , it must be said . the actor playing the young om has quite a resemblance with the puri of benegal / nihalani vintage ; the use of those mosquito - killer tennis rackets as instruments of torture ; and , okay , well , that ' s pretty much it , really . and producer rakeysh omprakash mehra ' s obsession with the ramayana - - the ram / ravan dichotomy prominent in both aks and delhi 6 before this - - continues here , to unnecessary effect . loud and inert at the same time , teen thay bhai is a film to be shunned simply because of how cruelly it treats three actors we should treasure . rediff rating :\nars\u00e8ne lupin iii , the grandson of the fictional gentleman thief , ars\u00e8ne lupin , is considered the world ' s greatest thief , known for announcing his intentions to . welcome to imdb ' s most powerful title search . using the options below you can combine a variety of the types of information we catalog to create extremely specific . it was later serialized into an anime television series . list of pg -

. ltd . all rights reserved .\nbrothers battling over ancestral property \u2013 has been a familiar fodder for masala movies since ages . but when rakeysh mehra produces a comedy on the same formula , you expect it to be a smart satire . sadly what you get is a slapstick !\nso you have three brothers who can\u2019t stand the sight of each other but still have to coexist for a couple of days , every year to subsequently acquire their ancestral assets , as per their grandpa\u2019s will . the eldest brother is the choleric chiksi gill ( om puri ) who frequently fumes and farts . the second brother happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist whose ultimate fantasy is ironing clothes because his long - lost girlfriend ( ragini khanna ) was a pro at it . third is a wannabe actor fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) who\u2019s so obsessed with his pup that you feel the film is going to the dogs .\nthey slap , bite , kick , tie and roast each other in their himalayan heritage house to the extent that you wish they were better - off \u2018home alone\u2019 . outside its snowing and inside the house , the chemistry between the characters seems cold and the flow of the story seems frozen . the proceedings get monotonous within the confines of the single - setting plot , until when the narrative cuts into a random and redundant flashback to explain how each brother broke ties with dadaji dear ( yograj singh ) and abandoned house .\nall of sudden the stagnant story goes into a trance with the trio dancing alongside doped girls amidst snowy landscapes . further they are imprisoned where they bicker so badly about each other that it feels you are watching a daily soap where the brothers have replaced the\n. if that is not enough , a cop tortures them using vacuum cleaners , electric flyswatters and waxing strips . but as they are physically tormented , you go through a mental trauma .\nis one of the most incoherent screenplays to have come out in a long long time . the storytelling lacks direction and there is hardly any density to the vague plot . also director mrigdeep singh lamba seems terribly confused about the tone he wants to impart to certain scenes . for instance , at first glimpse you never realize whether the confrontation between dadaji and the eldest brother was supposed to be serious or spoofy . at times , jokes are stretched beyond their expiry date . and after the horrible horseplay , it\u2019s silly of the director to end the film with a moral message on brotherhood . the sundry sensibilities just don\u2019t gel .\nwith almost the entire narrative opening in and around the house , the snowcapped setting of himachal pradesh makes no sense since cinematographer ashok mehta doesn\u2019t get to explore much of the exquisite exteriors . daler mehendi keeps crooning\n\u2019 . the broken english that shreyas speaks through the film appears forced after a point of time . and the romance track between deepak dobriyal and ragini khanna is too half - baked to register .\neven the immensely talented cast cannot make the film bearable . om puri\u2019s character seems so frustrated that it gets on your nerves subsequently . deepak dobriyal underplays his character but fails to impress this time . shreyas talpade seems to be in\nmode . it\u2019s shocking to see ragini khanna not being explored beyond her electrifying smile . yograj singh is more melodramatic than prithviraj kapoor was in\nthey say \u2018where there is a will , there is a way\u2019 . . . there is a will here but the way here is certainly out .\nget latest news & live

couple of genuinely strong laughs apiece , the director doesn ' t really know the art of telling a joke .\ndebutant mrigdeep singh lamba sets up several gags but never quite sees them through , leaving us bored and waiting for the pay - off . in a rather reckless attempt at reaching all audiences , he tries hard to pack his film with something for everybody : scatological humour ; overdone bursts of melodrama ; marijuana - laced parathas ; threestooges - giri . as a result , nobody quite goes back happy . three brothers who loathe each other have to , in accordance with their late grandfather ' s will , spend a couple of nights together each year in a snowed out ramshackle old cottage . if they manage to spend six days there , spread over three years , then they get the cottage

brothers who hate each other and are bound by their grandfather ' s will to guard his ashes till three years after his death , the three actors are a riot . there are fart jokes , lots of humour involving ladies ' underwear , and canine torture . the film was to have been called mad , madder , maddest and as the adventure shot for 44 days in snow bound kashmir valley unfolds , it seems quite justified .\nfor those who love marijuana paranthas , a police officer who inflicts torture with household objects and slapstick action soaked in desi whisky , this is pungent , often puerile fun . the one - eyed grandfather is played by yograj singh , father of yuvraj , with great gusto . ragini khanna who plays dobriyal ' s love interest is fresh , with a smile that stretches from jalandhar to

well . but they lose their way in their noble intentions .\nseems like a terrific idea for a comedy . three brothers separated more at mirth than by birth , trying hard to keep the spirit alive . they fail miserably , not for the want of trying .\nthe script here depends too much on extraneous trappings , too little on integral assets . there ' s no scarcity of acting talent here . shreyas talpade , deepak dobriyal and om puri shine in that order . . . alas , they have no meat to sink their sharp teeth in . often we see the actor groping and grappling with material that doesn ' t give them a chance to move beyond the immediate laughter of a situational comedy . beyond the sound of current laughter there ' s no hereafter in the humour .\nthe static snowcapped location doesn ' t help either . the three principal actors seem as frozen in their efforts to rise above the stagnant humour as the snowy landscape in jammu where veteran cinematographer ashok mehta tries desperately to find a centre in the meandering mirth .\nthe script has the seeds of an engaging satire . but the story never takes off . minimalist props and background music don ' t help drive away the feeling of growing boredom that clutches at the throat of this vapid tale of three brothers who could kill each other with sibling friction and kill us with sheer boredom .\ntowards the end , the plot shifts out a snow - strapped cottage into the outdoors where the brothers are assailed by hippy women who feed them with parathas filled with marijuana . by this time the script has completely run out of tricks to hold our attention . a climax with a giant steamroller as the villain is just about all that we are left looking at .\nis like one of those books whose backflap synopsis offers us tempting insights into human nature . but by the time we settle down to the experience the plot has betrayed its own interests .\nin the league of the recent gross out hollywood comedies . the tone is loud , jokes are bawdy and scatological humour is in full flow\nt he jokey title track of the film , written by gulzar , pretty much sums up its spirit . it\u2019s about three brothers who can\u2019t see eye to eye but are forced to spend two days a year together , for three years in a row , to honour a clause in their grandfather\u2019s will . how does that bring about a change in their relationship ? that\u2019s for us to discover .\nwe meet them in the third year , in a snowed out , isolated cottage in manali . chixy gill ( om puri ) is a petty businessman trying to get his daughters married , happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist who dreams of becoming a dry - cleaner and fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) is a struggling actor of punjabi movies with dreams of making it big in hollywood . chixy , happy and fancy might sound like chico , harpo , groucho , gummo , zeppo , ie , the marx brothers , but are no match for classic marx bros zaniness .\nthe film , an adaptation of a play , has long scenes played out inside the cottage , which give a proscenium feel . it depends on the characters and their chemistry with each other . sometimes that works , like the sequences where happy tries to take a swig from chixy\u2019s bottle . but the script doesn\u2019t offer interesting situations , nor sparkling dialogue to add zing to the characters and their stupidities . it feels laboured , like fancy\u2019s bad english ( infection for affection ) and the film gets gradually unsustainable as the plot meanders to include stoned german tourists and a buffoon of a cop .\nthe film is watchable for dobriyal , who manages a nuanced performance even in a broad slapstick . the other star is the awesome landscape and those beautiful snowflakes in gulmarg . besides , you can also discover here

time collaboration with cinematographer vittorio storaro , known for epics such as apocalypse now , reds , and the last emperor . this also marks allen\u2019s first foray into digital filmmaking , using a sony cinealta f65 camera . with a star -

director allen also plays lenny , a slightly more relaxed incarnation of his usual neurotic screen persona . lenny is trapped in a bad marriage to high - strung art dealer amanda ( helena bonham carter ) , but he finds solace in his relationship with his adopted young son . indeed , he grows so fond of the boy that he decides to track down the boy ' s real mother , expecting to discover a brilliant professional . instead , he finds linda ( mira sorvino ) , a ditzy prostitute and porno star who mingles casual vulgarity with disarming innocence . despite his initial disillusionment , lenny soon develops a fondness for linda and decides to play matchmaker , setting her up with a handsome young boxer ( michael rapaport ) who is equally good - hearted and scatterbrained . while the contrast between the free - spirited linda and the uptight lenny provides the bulk of the laughs , hints of allen ' s more literary humor are also present , particularly in the scenes involving a roaming greek chorus commenting upon lenny ' s fate . sorvino received a supporting oscar for her title role in a well - received movie that is nevertheless not at the level of allen ' s best - known classics .\nwere mira sorvino ' s all - redeeming , possibly best - list - bound performance to melt away , it would immediately be obvious how malnourished this amiably minor effort is .\nsame ol ' woody , though not as effective as some of his past work .\none of the best woody allen films from this decade . a very funny movie that made mira sorvino a star .\nbetter than average woody allen movie . like mira sorvino in this one . didn ' t like the greek chanters . made no sense at all and no point them being there .\nodd , like all of woody ' s films . it was alright and kind of funny though .\ni think i enjoyed this a little more than i should have : it kind of skirts the heavier issues and makes the central plot point - tracking down your adopted child ' s birth mother - awfully light , and it ' s a little on the corny side in places . . . mira sorvino , for example , is over the top , and michael rappaport is . . . well , michael rappaport . nevertheless , the ironically used greek chorus and the framing of the main characters ' quest in terms of the oedipus plot should go down as one of allen ' s cleverest devices , and though woody allen was basically playing himself ( as he always does ) , he yet again inserted himself into a story crazy enough for his\ncharacter\n( persona , more precisely ? ) to be believable .\nia vardalos tries futilely to recreate some of that my big fat greek wedding magic - this time even going so far as to touch down in the old country itself . she plays a greek - american historian who takes a job as a tour guide to the ancient monuments ( with , i kid you not , alistair mcgowan as her competitive co - guide ) . much of the dialogue is seemingly written at the dictation of the greece tourist board ( there ' s one particularly memorable exchange about the quality of hotel accommodation ) , and the rest of it feels like its been churned out by some auto -

e - yaman in 1933 was not much more than a walk - on part . nor did desh deepak / noor - e - yaman , made the following year , make her star . however , after hunterwali \u2013 directed in 1935 by homi wadia \u2014 there was no looking back . the sobriquet of hunterwali attached itself to the actress who became one of india\u2019s top stars of the 30s and 40s . in this iconic film , after which she was called india\u2019s pearl white , nadia wore tightly fitting and revealing clothes and boots and flagellating the air with a leather whip .\nbollywood\u2019s original stunt queen acted in over 50 films for wadia movietone , the path - breaking studio founded three quarters of a century ago in 1933 by jbh wadia and his brother homi wadia in dadar , mumbai . descendants of the pioneering shipbuilding parsi family of the wadias , the two brothers had a ship as a logo for their studio . the studio that rolled out films of all genres\u2014ranging from mythologicals to social dramas and swashbuckling adventure films\u2014also had many firsts to its credit . this studio was , in 1958 , the first to use the camera crane . interestingly , the crane was built in their own workshop . wadia movietone also produced the first indian talkie that had an english version : court dancer . filmed simultaneously in english , hindi and directed by madhur bose in 1941 , the film ( starring prithvi raj kapoor and classical dancer sadhana bose ) was distributed in the united states . the studio also published the indian screen gazette .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nthey didn\u2019t call her fearless nadia for nothing . cracking whips , swinging from chandeliers , chasing baddies from atop moving trains , the whirlwind blonde who literally kick - started the trend of bollywood action films with the iconic nadia series in the early 30s , was a legend in more ways than one . madhu jain revisits the adrenaline - packed saga of india\u2019s original stunt queen\nshe did not zoom into the sky with the speed of a rocket . bullets did not ricochet off her bounteous chest . nor did she wear her underwear on the outside like superman , the flying , caped crusader . yet , fearless nadia was indian cinema\u2019s first superwoman . cracking a whip , brandishing a sword , racing along the top of moving trains in pursuit of the baddies , swinging from chandeliers , beating up men by the dozen , this rather robust blonde with startling blue eyes was a swashbuckling saviour of the exploited . step aside wonder woman and xena the warrior : we have our own angrez - desi who with her clarion call of \u2018hey - y - y - y\u2019 came to rescue of the poor , the vanquished and damsels in distress . nadia was also india\u2019s first feminist icon of the screen .\nit\u2019s time , once again , to re - evaluate the incredible phenomenon that was nadia , as well as the wadia brothers who combined the genre of stunt films and populist nationalism to great effect in a stream of films . jamshed wadia \u2013 originally a member of the indian national congress before he came under the influence of bengal reformer and marxist , mn roy \u2014 introduced anti - british allegorical references as well a subtext about women\u2019s emancipation . homi wadia , who directed most of the nadia films , eventually married his action - heroine .\nthis year also marks the birth centenary of nadia , the daughter of herbert evans , a scotsman , who was in the british army during the first world war in the north - west frontier , and margaret , an eccentric , fun - loving greek belly dancer . an armenian tarot - card reader advised the young mary to change her name if she wanted to be rich and famous . the armenian lady could not have been more right . nadia soon achieved cult status . so entrenched was her image as the defender of the exploited that fearless nadia belts , whips , playing cards and match - boxes flooded the markets .\nwhips , capes , masks , fur hats , tall boots , and shorts became the accoutrements of this actress who played the female avatars of robin hood , zorro or even tarzan . lady robin hood was the title of one of her films . many of nadia\u2019s films involve trains : miss frontier mail , punjab mail , diamond queen and toofan queen .\nalthough nadia\u2019s films included jungle escapades , fantasy fare and hollywood gangster films , the wadia brothers astutely grafted the nadia persona onto indigenous action heroines of the past : jhansi ki rani and razia sultan who stood up for their rights and were no strangers to swords .\nthe studio no longer exists . nor do most of the people who were associated with it \u2014 or with fearless nadia . however , nadia\u2019s other grandnephew , canada - based roy wadia , has returned to india to revive the legacy . the family has a treasure trove of posters ( many of them surreal ) , lobby cards , diaries , correspondence and books .\ndileep raj , uma , sujata , sheikh , tun tun , amarnath , uma dutt , dalpat , habib , w . m . khan , vishwas kunte , suzie , devraj , prince arjun , makrani , korega . production co : basant pictures . less . . .\nplease be specific and provide a reference source ( book , link , etc . )\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ncopyright 2010 -

! please give examples or good reasons to substantiate your claims . thank you .\n\u201d i argue that early tibetan buddhism replaced much of the mother goddess worship and incorporated all the female symbolism of the lotus goddess into chenrezig [ the bodhisattva of compassion ] . the tulku system was what put the tin lid on any potential for women to gain equality in the religious sphere , or for their voices to be heard . \u201d\ni am rather alerted about these developments / most seem to fall pray to these tactics of sidestepping . the reasons of my doubts or alertness are : 1 ) the rigpa policy is to denounce the letter of the 8 as \u201emere allegations\u201c , 2 ) they train people in \u201edeep listening\u201c but have never deeply listened to the women and men been harmed and manipulated , 3 ) healing would include to give space and voice to those been harmed and not occupying space and the mind of others with the own feelings , distracting from the pain and sufferings of those been harmed .\nbut the play ' s exuberant theatricality is always vivid ; so much of it is about acting . and what better theatre to demonstrate this in than the globe , where a quick , responsive audience becomes part of the action .\nthe point is that either you have wisdom or not . wisdom includes to see the longterm and short term benefit and the longterm and short term harm of actions . it should be obvious that this was not the case , therefore it was not wisdom . to call the lack of wisdom \u201ccrazy wisdom\u201d is crazy in and by itself . the lack of wisdom is called ignorance or confusion in the teachings of the buddha ( and even in the world . )\nok , it just dawned on me what karma pemo is alluding to . though i believe he\u2019s certainly incorrect to claim dkr is an \u2019emanation\u2019 rather than an incarnation , the term \u2019emanation\u2019 is used to delineate the various incarnations of jamyang khyentse wangpo as the body , speech , mind , activities and qualities emanations of him . dkr is considered to be an activities emanation ie . he embodies the quality of activity but he is definitely an incarnation of jkw . urltoken\ntoday tulku\u0097unfortunately\u0097 [ has ] become almost like the designation of a certain status , a social status . so , among these tulkus , some may have that sort of quality , the possibility to choose their rebirth , some not .\nregarding sogyal lakar\u2019s abusive and unethical behaviors . this response , published on his website , seems to be initially about a comment that one of the signatories of the letter , sangye ngawang , made on facebook . however , in the process of responding , otr addresses what he \u201chas heard\u201d about sangye and the other seven signatories \u201cturning against\u201d sogyal lakhar .\nthe actions of some of the teachers of precious buddhadharma do not reflect the true meaning of the teachings or of buddhist practice . it is time to start evaluating these masters , their conduct , and stop promoting abuse ; physical , financial , sexual and emotional . if tibetans will not call out these teachers , we must . there are ethical teachers out there , but we must each examine our teachers carefully . not to expect perfection in their appearance and behavior at any moment , because some of what appears to us is very subjective and interpreted . but to identify actual abuse and call it for what it is , must be done if the precious dharma is to survive in the west ."]}
